The CMG Compact Motor Gear

has liquid cooling as standard
to dissipate the heat losses of
the motors. The CMG cooling
circuit requires no pipework apart
from the hoses for feeding and
discharging the cooling fluid.

The cooling circuit can be con-

trolled by PT1000 temperature
sensors of the motor winding.

Use of a cooling water control re-

duces the coolant consumption,
increases the performance of the
drive and prevents condensation
on a cold motor.

Applications with
CMG drives
■ Extruder
■ Plasticizing drive on
injection molding machines
■ Agitators, Mixer
■ Shredder
■ Ball mills etc.

■ effective water cooling
■ very good heat transition from
the stator to the copper pipe
and housing
■ only one water connection for
all four motors
■ closed cooling circuit – sepa-
ration of the cooling medium

■ cooling coil with constant
cross section, optimised flow,
therefore less sensitive to

■ parallel flow means constant
