SEW-EURODRIVE introduces DR2C motor, an IE5 high-efficiency motor designed for a wide speed range and long-term energy savings. Built for industries focused on reducing total cost of ownership, the DR2C lowers energy consumption, minimizes heat losses, and improves operational reliability, helping to reduce costs over its lifespan.
Improving energy-efficient motion with IPM technology
The SEW-EURODRIVE DR2C motor series uses Interior Permanent Magnet (IPM) technology, integrating permanent magnets within the rotor instead of surface-mounted. This design increases torque density and meets the IE5 efficiency classification, reducing energy losses by up to 50% compared to standard IE3 asynchronous motors in the same power class. It helps lower operating costs, extend service life, and reduce environmental impact while maintaining performance.
High torque in a compact design
SEW-EURODRIVE’s DR2C Permanent Magnet Motor provides high torque in a compact design, reducing size by up to two frame sizes compared to comparable IE3 asynchronous motors. Its high-power density comes from Interior Permanent Magnet (IPM) technology, offering efficient performance for heavy-load applications. The DR2C’s low mass inertia reduces energy losses during acceleration, improving response time and efficiency.
Key features and cost-saving benefits:
High-efficiency design – Reduce motor energy consumption up to 50%
- More efficient than IE3 and IE4 motors, reducing energy costs.
- Designed for continuous operation to support long-term savings.
Permanent magnet technology – Lower losses, higher output
