Electric Motor Brands
Electric motors are used across many areas of industry, from machinery manufacturing, pump and fan systems to crushing and screening plants, mills, conveyors and compressors. Therefore, selecting an electric motor brand should not be based solely on the motor's price.
The motor's power rating, speed, energy-efficiency class, frame construction, winding quality, bearing specifications, mounting arrangement, protection class and suitability for the operating conditions should all be evaluated together.
Many domestic and international electric motor brands operate in Türkiye. DRG MOTOR, Gamak, HEM MOTOR, ELK, Emtaş, WAT, Volt, Miksan, Marelli Motori, Siemens, Abana and Gems are among the electric motor brands known in Turkish industry.
The information on this page has been prepared for general informational purposes. Power ratings, frame sizes, voltages, efficiency classes and mounting options may vary by product series; therefore, current technical catalogues should be reviewed before placing an order.

How Should You Choose Between Electric Motor Brands?
The best electric motor brand may not be the same for every machine or business. The correct brand and motor model should be determined according to the machine's operating conditions.
The following factors should be evaluated when selecting an electric motor:
Required motor power
Motor speed
Number of poles
Three-phase or single-phase configuration
Operating voltage
IE3, IE4 or IE5 efficiency class
Actual energy consumption
Aluminium or cast-iron frame
Copper-winding quality
Bearing brand and quality
IP protection class
Insulation class
B3, B5, B14, B34 or B35 mounting arrangement
Daily operating duration
Starting frequency
Motor operation under load
Ambient temperature
Dust and moisture levels
Use with a frequency inverter
Stock availability and delivery time
Warranty and technical support
Electric motor price
Selecting an underpowered or low-quality electric motor solely because of its lower price can cause high current draw, overheating, vibration, bearing failure and production downtime.
