SM motors Series consist of three-phase asynchronous electric motors with power range between 0,09 kW and 45,0 kW while the motor frame is from 56 up to 225.
The SMX series is different from SM series because it consists of single speed motors for continuous duty with higher efficiency in conformity with European Regulation 640/2009. For other aspects the SMX serie-motors have the same characteristics of the motors belonging to the SM series.

SERIE SMX
The SMX series consists of three phase asynchronous single speed 2, 4 and 6 poles motors for continuous duty with efficiency class IE2 and IE3, in conformity with European Regulation 640/2009.
For other aspects the SMX serie-motors have the same characteristics of the motors belonging to the SM series.
In Europe, the Commission Regulation 640/2009, adopted on 22 July 2009, specifies the requirements regarding the ecodesign of electric motors. In particular, the Regulation establishes the minimum efficiency classes the motors should have.
The application field of the EuP (Energy-using Products) Regulation includes low voltage three-phase squirrel cage-induction motors for 50Hz or 50/60Hz single speed with the following properties:
- Rated voltage up to 1.000 V
- Rated output between 0,75 kW and 375 kW
- Either 2, 4 or 6 poles
- Rated for continuous duty

MOTOR CHALLENGE
MGM Electric Motors joined as an endorser the “Motor Challenge”.
The Motor Challenge Programme is a European Commission voluntary programme (launched in February 2003) through which industrial companies are aided in improving the energy efficiency of their Motor Driven Systems.
The Challenge focuses on Compressed Air, Fan and Pump systems, for which it has been demonstrated that there exists a large technical and economic potential for energy savings.
Reducing the energy consumption of electric motor driven systems, which account for up to 30% of all electricity used in European Union, is among the priorities of European Union “Intelligent Energy for Europe” Programme.
Examples from the field have shown that from 30% to 50% of electricity used for pumps, compressor or fans could be saved through improved operations and maintenance or by investments in energy efficient electric motor systems.
In most cases, such actions are not only profitable, but also maintain or improve production quality and reliability!
Refer to European Commission internet site for further information on this programme.
