W40 is an open drip proof (ODP) induction motor platform. Thanks to its open enclosure it reaches a higher power density than totally enclosed (TEFC) motors of the same size, making it a cost-effective choice where a high degree of protection is not required. The line is designed for environments where moisture and dirt are minimal.
The cast iron frame offers strong ventilation and heat dissipation together with low vibration and high mechanical rigidity. Its geometry was optimised with simulation tools to keep noise low despite the large airflow through the casting. Vibration and noise levels comply with NEMA MG-1 parts 7 and 9, and L10h bearing life is 100,000 hours in direct coupling.
An oversized, diagonally split terminal box, F1/F2 reversible design, easy access to grease inlets and outlets and flat pads for vibration sensors make installation and maintenance easier. Euronorm provides selection support and quotations for output, voltage and frame in the W40 range.
