No crane too high - all-rounder squirrel cage motor

Originally based on the requirements for the company's own applications, the portfolio of squirrel cage motors from Liebherr is well positioned for applications in demanding segments. These include, for example, crane hoists, travel drives for machines or drive systems for mining trucks. All these products reflect the ability to discuss problems and find solutions for unexpected requirements.

  • Compact design
    If space is confined, such as on a winch on the boom of a crane, the compact squirrel cage motors are adapted to the circumstances down to the last detail with the required power density and efficiency.

  • Very quiet operation
    Convection-cooled machines with self-supporting housing are always in demand when low sound pressure levels are required. For example as a drive for parasols in the Middle East with a diameter of up to 53m.

  • Focus on reliability

    Squirrel cage motors from Liebherr are equipped with an insulation system that minimises harmful partial discharges. As a result, the motors designed for use in dynamic processes are optimally adapted to control with frequency converters. Patented solutions for avoiding circulating currents also provide ideal protection for bearings and the driven machine.
