Shipbuilding
Built to withstand the toughest conditionsOur motors for shipbuilding are designed to be robust, seawater-protected and long-lasting. Our squirrel-cage motors can be built in single-speed versions or as pole-changing motors with up to four speed stages, and slip-ring motors with up to two speed stages. Available in surface-cooled or water-cooled designs, they are rated for continuous or short-time duty and come in various energy-efficiency classes.
We also supply replacement motors for a wide range of motor types, e.g. for anchor and mooring winches. Speed is what counts here: we usually supply your replacement motor within a few weeks, to avoid costly downtime.
Application examples of our motors in shipbuilding
- combined anchor-/mooring winches, loading winches and special winches for low temperature use up to -60°C
- electrical windlass for liftdocks
- marine ships
- hydraulic anchor-/mooring winches
- free-fall lifeboat systems
- deck cranes
- bow thrusters – motors in slip-ring or squirrel-cage design
- electro equipment for above mentioned devices
Our motors for shipbuilding

Surface cooled motor
Our surface-cooled motors (IP54 to IP68) impress their durability and robustness based on our high quality demands on us and our products.

Explosion proof motor
The explosion protected motor with integrated electromagnetic spring-operated brake with up to 3300 Nm braking power is the new flagship product from our production facility in Middle Franconia.

Watercooled motor
In comparison with an air-cooled motor, the same performance can be achieved for smaller construction spaces without problems. By default, this is achieved for the efficiency class IE3 (S1)

Replacement Motors
Fast replacements for many brands.
When an electric motor fails in an application, one thing counts above all: speed.
