Surprisingly few mechanical engineers and
operators know that over 95% of a motor’s life
cycle costs are energy costs. This is why only few
plants are fitted with energy efficient motors.
In 2002, SEW-EURODRIVE became the first company in
the world to succeed in using die-cast copper
technology in industrial high-volume series
production. The result: Highly energy efficient
motors at a surprisingly competitive price that
comply with all applicable European and
international standards. DTE and DVE series 4-pole
motors surpass the EFF1 limit value and are marked
as follows:
