Highlights

Experience innovation and efficiency

Try new approaches, set new standards in efficiency, easily overcome new challenges: our drive components are perfectly coordinated and prepared with digitalization in mind, and excel in many different fields of application. 

What's preventing you from optimizing electromechanical design?

The consequences of mismatching components could last decades. The system may appear more reliable at first. But, over time improper sizing can add stress, increasing inefficiency and requiring more maintenance. Instead, you need to take a step back and design your system more efficiently, effectively, and holistically. Go beyond a component-based approach and achieve a lifetime of performance.

Next Generation of SINAMICS PERFECT HARMONY GH180

When it comes to improving throughput, increasing efficiency and standardizing solutions, operating conditions will never be perfect-but at least your drives can be. Whether square footage is at a premium, or downtime is not an option, reliability is something you can't stand to spare. Siemens developed a drive to fit virtually anywhere – perfectly

SD200

The SIMOTICS SD200 low voltage motor from Siemens combines flexibility, performance and efficiency to meet any customer need. The footing works for nearly any retrofit and a broad selection of options makes custom orders a thing of the past, allowing for optimal performance in diverse operating conditions. At 350–600 horsepower and 509–5013* frame size, it delivers maximum efficiency with minimal complications — not only meeting but exceeding NEMA® and DoE efficiency standards. And it’s built with tomorrow’s technology advancements in mind, so you and your customers are ready for whatever comes.
