Electric Motor Housings: Aluminum vs. Cast Iron
When selecting an electric motor, the choice between an aluminum housing and a cast iron housing is made by the application's load, the need for portability and the operating envir... More Details
Cast iron body motors are designed for demanding industrial conditions where mechanical durability and long life are the priority. A cast iron frame is far more resistant to impact, vibration, high temperature and dust/humidity than aluminium. The DRG Motor cast iron series is built to run reliably in heavy-duty applications.
An aluminium body is light and advantageous for small powers and portable uses. A cast iron body is far safer under heavy load, continuous operation and outdoor conditions. That is why cast iron is preferred in industrial and mining applications.
Cast iron body motors are preferred in crusher and stone-crushing plants, mining and cement, heavy-duty pump/fan systems and cranes. Built in IE3/IE4/IE5 classes they combine durability with efficiency; for general use also see the industrial motors page.
DRG Motor cast iron motors are made with high-quality casting and strict quality control, providing long life and uninterrupted operation. For a cast iron electric motor, explore our range and contact us for prices and technical documents.
For cast iron body motors running in dusty, humid and outdoor conditions, the right IP protection class is critical. The heat-conduction advantage of the cast iron structure keeps the motor cooler and safer even under heavy load, reducing failure risk and lowering total cost of ownership.
