Up to 40,000 rpm – highest performance asynchronous induction and main spindle motor solutions
SIMOTICS M Main Motors
Widely used, asynchronous induction motors are a preferred choice for a spectrum of industrial applications due to their rugged construction, absence of brushes, and the ability to control the motor speed. Compact, with high-power density, Siemens high-performance induction motors are almost maintenance-free and feature an optional integrated, high-resolution measuring system for high-end speed and position control.

Packing all the strength, flexibility, and durability you need into one efficient box
Based on a universal design succeeding the predecessor high-performance induction motor families — 1PH7, 1PH4, 1PL6, 1PM4 and 1PM6 — in one platform, the 1PH8 family replaces these products with full compatibility and even wider power and speed range.
The two faces of 1PH8
SIMOTICS 1PH8 motors are available in both asynchronous induction and sychronous servomotor versions, offering significant advantages in both fields.
Powerful features & flexible configuration options
Compared to standard and trans norm NEMA and IEC motors, the 1PH8 motors are optimized for high-end motion control tasks utilizing variable speed drives. To achieve outstanding performance in these applications, the 1PH8 is about 30 to 40 percent smaller, resulting in lower rotor inertia and better dynamic response times.
The rated speed range of up to 6,000 rpm is enhanced with field weakening (constant power) all the way up to 20,000 rpm. The very rugged 1PH8 motors are available in IP rating 55 and 65 with a high overload capability (up to 3 times rated torque) and rotatable connectors (in the lower shaft heights) or terminal boxes.
- Extended power range from 2.8 to 1,340 kW
- Induction or synchronous motor versions
- Force-ventilated or water-cooled
- Solid or hollow shaft
- Horizontal or vertical mounting
- Bearing options for increased cantilever forces or increased speed range
- Various encoder types for closed-loop speed control and high-precision positioning
- High smooth-running characteristics and ruggedness due to outstanding true running and low vibration severity at maximum speeds of up to 24,000 rpm
- High-dynamic performance and short accelerating times
- Winding switchover (star / delta)
- Simple and flexible connection system
- Commissioning using the electronic rating plate via digital DRIVE-CLiQ interface
- Efficient and secure power cabling with SPEED CONNECT
Excellent performance characteristics for entry-level compact machine class of machine tools
Spindle motors have a decisive influence on tooling productivity through their power and torque. In addition to suitable power, sufficient speed ranges must also be covered. Especially in the compact class, low complexity and ease of use play an important role in addition to price. The motor series SIMOTICS M-1PH1 is a spindle motor generation developed for universal implementation in plants and machines with motion control applications.
Developed specifically for demands in turning and milling operations
Characterized by high robustness and simple application, SIMOTICS M-1PH3 motors are provided in an asynchronous variant with forced ventilation and shaft heights of 100 mm and 132 mm. The 2-fold overload capacitiy allows high cutting performance. The encoderless variant offers an attractive solution to getting motors into operation quickly and easily.

Built-in synchronous motors for high speed and high torque applications
SIMOTICS M-1FE synchronous built-in motors are especially compact main spindle motors with a very high dynamic performance designed for machine tool applications. They set themselves apart as a result of their very high machining quality, short acceleration times, highest precision and smooth running characteristics.
Enough space and power in any spindle
Versions are available for very high torque utilization (High Torque) — or high maximum speeds (High Speed) to address specific applications. The mechanical motor power is directly transferred to the spindle without any mechanical transmission elements. The rotor and stator are ready to be installed and are water-cooled.
Features
- Compact construction via elimination of mechanical components
- Short ramp-up and braking times
- High degree of shaft stiffness through large inner rotor hole (and thus large shaft diameter)
