ATEX: LENZE EXTENDS ITS RANGE OF GEARED MOTORS FOR POTENTIALLY EXPLOSIVE ATMOSPHERES
11 April 2005 - Lenze Limited

Lenze is adding integrated geared motors to its range of explosion-protected gearboxes. Their mounting dimensions are more compact than those of comparable geared motors with IEC motor adapters. Suitable for use in categories 2GD and 3GD, the geared motors are available for temperature class T3.

The omission of a motor coupling makes the units compact, torsionally stiff and cost-effective. The new product series is based on the versatile G-motion range featuring helical, shaft-mounted helical, helical-bevel or helical-worm gearboxes , which has already been used successfully in many and varied standard applications.

Users are offered an extensive range of integrated motors in the power range from 0.12 to 22 kW. Motors for use in zone 22 (ATEX category 3 for dust) are suitable for both mains and frequency inverter operation and feature built-in thermal contacts or thermistors for motor monitoring.

Category 2GD geared motors are fitted with an oil-sight glass. This significantly reduces the time required for commissioning, maintenance or servicing in comparison to oil plugs. Associated benefits include no longer having to remove oil plugs or fiddle with a dip stick to test the oil level. On request, all other product series in the G-motion range can also be supplied with oil-sight glasses.
