NEO-VENT controls the air pressure in the system to keep it constant, thus adjusting automatically the motor speed and the consumed power of the ventilation and suction systems in residential and industrial applications, according to the air flow requested in each moment by the users

This permits NANO to add to the well-known power saving of variable speed drives, the possibility to replace the single phase motors (technically losing lot of power) with the higher efficency IE2 and IE3 three phase motors.

The birth of Green Silence Group is attracting a lot of media attention, and it is not hard to understand why. With a range of electric motors that are compact, ultra-quiet, highly efficient, recyclable and, above all, built without the use of permanent magnets, Green Silence is redefining industry standards. According to the papers, Green Silence's “Spinrel” motors hav...

Something was missing in Motive ATEX range: if you wanted a Motive ATEX motor to be power cooled, its ATEX classification had to be downgraded from Cat.2 (zones 1,2,21,22) down to Cat.3 (zones 2,22 only). Motive ATEX power cooling systems, in fact, were only for Cat.3. But something yesterday changed. Do you see the "new"?

It’s therefor a certification of all our three phase motors performance data It is quite rare to get such a tough certification on a whole and wide range of motors, and the reason is that RINA does not test samples, but all motors ratings. This is however not something new at Motive, but the old RINA type approval for marine motors, whose first issue is dated 2019 (see...

Designing and producing a TEFC self-braking motor in IP56 or IP66 versions is a complex and rare challenge. The few manufacturers who have succeeded chose to enclose the brake in a bell housing, compromising ventilation and reducing the motor's service, power, and longevity. At Motive, however, we have overcome this challenge. Now you can have ATDC self-braking motors, v...

It allows to constantly monitor the motor temperature by reading the PT100 and/or PTC temperature probes inside the motor and to provide an output contact N.C. (normally closed by default) which, connected in series to the power supply of the external line contactor, will stop the power supply of the motor at an alarm temperature (130°C default setting by motive for PT10...

NEO-4 and NEO-5.5 motor inverters, for motors up to 4 and 5.5kW, have been added into the range of NEO variable speed drives This range extension touches NEO-WiFi VSD for direct speed control, NEO-VENT control unit for fans, NEO-OLEO pressure and flow rate controllers for hydraulic power packs, NEO-COMP for compressors, and NEO-PUMP VSD for centrifugal pumps, NEO-SOL...

We already had one, but we wanted a further one because: 1. we wanted to certify a version with PTO, making it easier to connect them to our ATEX VFDs NANO-Ex and NEO-Ex 2. create and certify a further version for an ambient of 50°C https://www.motive.it/en/p-6-atex-motors.html

In parallel with the next completion of the STON and ENDURO ranges, we’ve added to ROBUS new gears, we optimized the wheels mix, we modified some pre-existing pinions and shafts, and, as a result, we have now more ratios and better service factors. A new catalogue has consequently been issued (https://www.motive.it/en/cataloghi-animazioni.php), and this is also an innov...

At Motive, we are proud to announce that our IP66 and IP67 3PH ATEX motors have successfully passed TUV’s stringent certification tests. These tests are a testament to the superior quality and reliability of our special executions. TUV's thorough examination revealed that our IP67 motors exhibited exceptional waterproof capabilities. Even when fully submerged, no water ...

If you design and manufacture ATEX products, the requirements of a normal ISO9001 Quality System are not sufficient for your organization. You must satisfy also another standard that takes its cue from ISO9001 to add much more, the ISO/IEC 80079-34 "Explosive atmospheres - Part 34: Application of quality systems for Ex product manufacture". It is on the basis of this nor...

This makes them particularly suitable also for our machinery manufacturing customers who export their products to North America! Our Delphi series three-phase electric motors, in the "Premium Efficiency IE3" version, sizes 80 to 132, have achieved the prestigious UL certification for the United States and Canada! What does this mean for you? This certification ensures...

This "execution" can already be found in the configurator. The card is immersed in a special two-component sealing gel. This means that it is also an excellent solution against condensation of humidity.

The energy efficiency “energy label” certificate for Delphi IE3 Series Three-Phase Motors, both with brakes (ATDC series) and without, has now been released. Prior to this, we already had the efficiency of Delphi IE2 three-phase motors certified in 2019. This important certification not only confirms the reliability of Motive motors, but also the truthfulness of the dat...

After years of design, tests, calculations and perfectioning and perfectioning… The 3 biggest sizes (7, 8 and 9) of Motive STON shaft mounted gearboxes range are now online in the ecommerce in catalogues, and in the configurator Their prices are also finalized. Their deliveries will start in February 2022 together with STON 7, 8 and 9.

Green Silence Group, the new Italian hub that has united the skills of Motive, Settima Meccanica, and Spin, is thus revolutionise the market of electric motors for industrial vehicles with a range of ultra-high performance and energy-efficient products that not only reduce pollution (acoustic and environmental) but also definitively eliminate the use of permanent magnets...

- Waterproof - Condensation proof - Better thermal dissipation leading to lower heating, longer life, and a higher service factor. Creating an encapsulated/resined winding is no easy task. It undergoes rigorous testing to withstand high temperatures and ensure the resin capsule matches the thermal expansion of copper to prevent cracking over time. Like all options, als...

Here they are a couple of clarifications from TÜV that will be included in the next revision of our ATEX certificate. These updates address some doubts raised by a few customers – likely due to a bit of "creative marketing" from our competitors. What’s Been Clarified? - Compatibility with ATEX Inverters: Contrary to what some might have heard, TÜV has confirmed that ou...

Many had already received some gossip of what was boiling in the pot: the merger of Motive with an unspecified company. In reality, it was a merger with 2 companies: SETTIMA MECCANICA , https://www.settima.it/ and an established motors design studio (we’ll just call it “studio”, for the moment) With Settima the merger took place before a notary at the end of December 2...

Now we can tell you: SPIN (www.spinmag.eu) is also in our group. For those who don't know, SPIN is a consultancy company that has been designing advanced motors of all types since 1999: induction, synchronous, magnet, reluctance, axial motors... It also develops and sells a SW to help others engine design, they can't be as good as in SPIN anyway. It's hard to say in a fe...

This photo shows what happens with the traditional cast iron motors (OF OTHER MAKERS), those that typically have open bearings to be regreased periodically. The customer, who does not read the manual and who cannot count the hours of activity of a motor (unless he uses our DOCTOR 4.0), waits for the bearings to make noise. Then, he pumps grease until the noise is suffoca...

At Motive, we also had H class, but we cancelled it from the configurator because it had not much sense when you want to give to the client what he really wants. Let's give an explanation: The difference between a standard F class motor and the H class, is the max temperature of the insulation material (155°C for F or 180°C for H). The insulation material is the slot in...

We saw -toy sensors that had to be thrown away when the battery was down, -sensors giving one number data per day (how do you understand, for example, abnormal vibrations if someone was using a hammer nearby?), -mouths filled of the word "artificial intelligence" when only 2 (vibration, heating) neurons were there, we heard -talking about "self learning" when we had just...

Motive Variable Frequency Drives NANO Ex and NEO-Ex differ from standard NANO and NEO because they are designed to be used, like motive "Ex" gearboxes and "Ex motors", in the ATEX zones 21 and 22, Categories 2 and 3, Groups A, B and C, Dust Cat Zone description 2 21 A place in which an explosive atmosphere in the form of a cloud of combustible dust in air is likely t...

also motive three phase motors of the DELPHI series, like motive gearboxes before (BOX worm, ENDURO helical bevel, STON mounted shaft helical, ROBUS in-line helical, STADIO pre-stage) have just been certified ATEX for category 2 and 3. DELPHI EX are then suitable now for 4 zones, 2 categories, Gas and Dust Cat Zone description motive gearboxes 2 1...

STON is the new parallel shaft gearbox ENDURO is the new bevel gear reducer Both of them include the distinguishing features of the already known ROBUS series of in-line gearboxes, like, among others: All cylindrical wheels are profile ground for low noise and high efficiency. Monolithic cast iron body Ready to be mounted in any position Versatile foot or flange ...

Motive lists 7 main reasons that lead to the creation of NEO-PUMP Motive 1: less equipment With NEO-PUMP you don''t need anymore: · shutter/valve · cabinet · knife switch · motor overload protection automatic switch · motor control relay Motive 2: energy saving With traditional systems you always consume the ma...

Motive site was already at the forefront for the service put at the disposal of customers, such as the download area of the type test reports, or the one for the final test reports of each serial number, the three-dimensional animations of products, and more. However, it has now been further enriched by the configurator. This new tool allows you to shape motive products ...
