Electric motors are the heart of industrial systems. However, every application requires a different power range — some systems demand low power with precise control, while others require high torque and long-term durability.
At this point, cast iron body electric motors stand out as reliable, robust, and long-lasting solutions, available in both low kW and high kW configurations.

DRG Motor, with its cast iron body IE3 and IE4 class motors, enhances the energy efficiency and operational life of industrial facilities.

1. The Importance of a Cast Iron Body

Cast iron is known for its high strength and vibration damping properties. Using cast iron as a housing material ensures that the motor operates stably, quietly, and safely for many years.
Its low expansion rate at high temperatures also preserves the mechanical integrity of the motor.

For this reason, DRG Motor’s cast iron body series are preferred in both high kW industrial motors and low-power continuous-duty systems.

2. Low kW Cast Iron Body Motors (0.18 kW – 7.5 kW)

Low-power electric motors are commonly used in automation, fans, pumps, conveyors, and light industrial applications.
Even in these cases, durability is essential — this is where the advantage of cast iron becomes clear.

Advantages:

• Ideal for long-term continuous operation,

• Quiet performance in vibration-prone environments,

• High thermal stability,

• Resistant to deformation even under high torque.

DRG Low kW Cast Iron Series offers maximum durability in compact sizes.
For example, motors in the 1.1 kW – 4 kW range are widely used in industrial fan systems.

3. High kW Cast Iron Body Motors (7.5 kW – 500 kW and above)

High-power motors are designed for pumping stations, compressors, cranes, production lines, and large machinery.
These applications require motors that are not only powerful but also mechanically robust.

Features of DRG High kW Cast Iron Motors:

• High torque output and stable operation,

• Long-lasting bearing system,

• Resistance to high temperature and dusty environments,

• Compliance with IEC standards and IE3 – IE4 efficiency class.

These motors start from 7.5 kW and go up to 315 frame size, making them ideal for heavy-duty industrial use.

4. Comparison of Low and High kW Motors

Both motor types benefit from the rigidity and vibration absorption of cast iron, ensuring durability in harsh industrial environments.
