Motors

Engines encompass drive units of various designs for stationary, mobile and industrial applications. Key areas include diesel engines used to power generators, ships, locomotives and industrial machinery, as well as gas engines for combined heat and power (CHP) plants and natural gas-powered drives.

Industrial electric motors (induction, synchronous and servo motors) form the backbone of industrial drives. Hydraulic motors perform drive tasks in the hydraulic systems of construction and agricultural machinery. Marine engines for commercial and recreational boating complete the range.

Leading manufacturers include Caterpillar, Cummins, MTU, Deutz, MAN, Perkins, Yanmar, Kubota, Volvo Penta and, in the electric motor sector, Siemens, ABB, SEW-Eurodrive and Lenze.

Motors are used in power generation (generator sets), in shipping, construction machinery, agricultural machinery, industrial plants, combined heat and power (CHP) units, and in decentralised energy supply.
