WEG W21 and W22 three-phase industrial electric motors

Industrial electric motors are the driving force behind countless industries, from manufacturing to agriculture, converting electrical energy into mechanical force to power essential machinery. With the growing global emphasis on optimising energy consumption, selecting reliable, high-performance motors has become imperative. In this context, we are proud to present two of our world-renowned WEG electric motor ranges: the W21 series in aluminium and the W22 series in cast iron.

WEG W21

Multi-mount aluminum casing for European market

Motore elettrico w21 WEG

WEG W21 aluminum motors are recognized for their excellent quality, reliability and efficiency, offering the same benefits as the robust cast iron range, but with a lightweight construction and a design that provides unmatched flexibility, as the terminal box can be positioned at the top or on both sides, with the possibility of rotating it in 90° steps to facilitate the connection of the power cables in any position. This unique system eliminates the need for mechanical modifications to the motor feet, greatly simplifying installation.

Furthermore, the innovative design of this range offers the added benefit of standardization and flexibility in stock, allowing the use of a single motor for different mounting configurations and ensuring full interchangeability with existing cast iron motors.

Complementing the wide range of industrial motors, the W21 series also offers specific designs for defined applications. In addition to the standard multi-mounting version, brake motors, single-phase motors, marine motors and TEAO motors (IC 418) for ventilation and exhaust gas applications are available. These specialized versions adapt perfectly to all application needs, maintaining the same reliability, ease of maintenance, reduced energy consumption and flexibility.
