New IE4 asynchronous motor series for high-performance industrial applications

Elin Motoren

  • Achieving IE4 energy efficiency, the new asynchronous motor series from ELIN Motoren delivers maximum performance with minimal losses.
  • With a power range up to 3,000 kW, voltages from 380 V to 15 kV, and frame sizes 200 to 630, the motors are designed for heavy-duty use across multiple industries.
  • The water-jacket-cooled design ensures consistent temperature control, long lifetime, and reliable operation even in harsh environments such as mining or tunneling.

ELIN Motoren is expanding its portfolio with a new asynchronous motor series meeting IE4 efficiency standards. The latest development enables operators to significantly reduce energy consumption and CO₂ emissions, achieving lower lifecycle costs and greater system sustainability — even in the most challenging applications.

Designed for tunnel boring machines, underground mining systems, mixers, extruders, and hydraulic drives, the new series combines robust asynchronous design with advanced water-jacket cooling for excellent thermal stability and compact construction. The result is a motor optimized for continuous operation under tough ambient conditions and high load demands.

Following the launch of the synchronous reluctance motor (IE5) in 2024, this new asynchronous range extends ELIN Motoren’s offering for energy-optimized electric drives across all major industrial segments.

“With our new IE4 asynchronous motor, we’re providing customers with a reliable and efficient solution that meets today’s high standards for performance and sustainability,” says Christoph Gögele, Director at ELIN Motoren. “Together with our IE5 synchronous reluctance motors, we now offer a complete portfolio of energy-efficient drive solutions — setting new benchmarks for efficiency in heavy-duty applications.”
