Product offering

Synchronous reluctance motors (SynRM)

Process performance induction motors

Permanent magnet motors

High Dynamic Performance motors (HDP)

The synchronous reluctance (SynRM) motor is a three-phase electric motor with a magnetically anisotropic rotor structure. The rotor in a synchronous reluctance motor has no magnets or windings and suffers virtually no power losses. Synchronous reluctance technology combines the performance of permanent magnet motors with induction motors, without the use of rare earth metals.

Reliability with a sustainable and long-lasting performance by minimizing motor failures and downtime.
Ultra-premium energy efficiency
Deliver full torque from zero speed and give excellent partial-load efficiency
Improved bearing system reliability

View Synchronous reluctance motors (SynRM)

ABB Process performance induction motors are ideally suited to process industries and heavy duty applications where motors have to meet high requirements for reliability, availability and efficiency in harsh conditions.

Operate critical processes with minimal downtime and are a dependable choice for driving your products
Provide great flexibility for specific solutions and can be individually designed to the exact demands of the application
More precise control of speed and torque, tested with variable speed drive
Wide range of options and accessories available

View Process performance induction motors

ABB’s low voltage permanent magnet motors combine the high speed accuracy of synchronous technology with the robust design of induction motors.
They have the capability to deliver very high torque from small motor sizes at low speed, eliminating the need for gearboxes. Additionally, use of synchronous motor technology ensures high efficiency.

Increase your reliability and ensure the efficienct and long-lasting performance by minimizing motor failures and downtime.
Reduced spare parts inventories
Easier system installation and higher system reliability

View Permanent magnet motors

ABB’s HDP motors build on a classic ABB technology advantage – market-leading power density. In short, any motor of a given size will deliver a higher power output than a corresponding standard machine motor.

Optimized electrical and mechanical designs for demanding applications in rough operating conditions
Modular concept offering flexibility with wide variety of options (encoders, brakes, monitoring sensors)
Compact and robust design offering superior power density
The square frame design and high overload capacity gives the motor an excellent dynamic response due to low inertia and high pulse torque
Full range from one supplier
