If you want to learn the 110 kW electric motor price and direct-from-manufacturer sales terms for your high-power drive systems, this page is exactly for you. At HEM Motor we supply 110 kW three-phase asynchronous motors usually in a 315 frame size, in 2-pole (3000 rpm) and 4-pole (1500 rpm) options, in IE3 and IE4 efficiency classes. Manufacturer supply without an intermediary means both a clear price-performance balance and a plannable delivery schedule for a motor of this size. In this article we explain pole-speed selection, efficiency class, starting with softstarter and VFD, and the fast quotation process in detail.
110 kW is one of the standard drive steps for large centrifugal pumps, main-line compressors, crushing-screening plants and high-capacity fan systems. Motor selection at this rating directly concerns project management items such as shipping, commissioning and spare planning. To clarify the right configuration and stock status, reach us through the HEM Motor electric motor prices page and request a fast quotation by sharing your requirement.
When buying a high-power motor, the label rating alone is not a sufficient criterion. The real value of a 110 kW motor emerges through its pole count, efficiency class, winding quality, bearing choice and mounting type. Working with the advantage of direct-from-manufacturer sales lets you configure these details correctly one by one and reach the most suitable configuration without unnecessary intermediate cost. In the sections below we share a roadmap for selecting the right 110 kW motor.
Pole, Speed and Torque Balance in a 110 kW Motor
Speed selection in a 110 kW motor is determined by your machine's torque and speed needs. A 2-pole 110 kW motor offers high speed around 3000 rpm and is preferred in large centrifugal pumps and high-flow turbo compressors. A 4-pole 110 kW motor at 1500 rpm delivers higher torque and is common in conveyors, crushers, mixers and large fan systems. The speed choice directly affects frame weight, cooling need and therefore the price-performance balance.
| Pole / Speed | Typical Application | Key Feature |
|---|---|---|
| 2-pole (3000 rpm) | Large centrifugal pump, turbo compressor | High speed, high flow capacity |
| 4-pole (1500 rpm) | Conveyor, crusher, large fan, mixer | High starting torque, balanced running |
| 6-pole (1000 rpm) | Heavy drive, low-speed process | High torque, gearless option |
If you are unsure which speed suits your drive, simply share the speed value on your machine nameplate. For more, see our 90-132 kW high-power 2/4-pole selection guide and our high-power motor supply article for ratings above 90 kW.
IE3 or IE4? The Importance of Efficiency Class at 110 kW
At high powers like 110 kW, the efficiency class directly determines the motor's annual energy bill. IE3 is the minimum standard in this band; however, in continuous processes running long hours per day, the IE4 super premium efficiency class quickly pays for itself through the difference in energy cost. As HEM Motor, we can supply both our IE3 electric motors and IE4 electric motors directly from the manufacturer.
- IE3 premium efficiency: Offers a balanced price-performance start for medium-intensity plants.
- IE4 super premium efficiency: Markedly lowers total cost of ownership in three-shift and continuous processes.
- Copper winding, F/H insulation: At high powers like 110 kW, winding and insulation quality determine hot-ambient endurance and life.
To see the efficiency class impact on the investment decision, we recommend our part-load efficiency curve article and the general electric motors category.
Starting a 110 kW Motor: The Need for Softstarter and VFD
At 110 kW, direct-on-line (DOL) starting is impractical in most plants due to the high inrush current. In this power band, a soft starter or variable frequency drive (VFD) has become almost standard. Correct starting both protects the grid and generator and extends motor life by reducing mechanical stress.
| Starting Method | Suitable Application | Advantage |
|---|---|---|
| Softstarter | Large pump, fan, compressor | Limits inrush, shock-free start |
| VFD (frequency inverter) | Variable-flow pump and fan | Speed control and energy saving |
| Automatic star-delta | Heavy drives starting unloaded | Classic and economical solution |
In VFD operation at high powers, bearing current, grounding and winding insulation gain importance. On this topic we recommend our motor protection and thermal relay selection article and, for commissioning planning, again the high-power supply guide.
Mounting Type and Shipping Planning
A 110 kW motor requires careful planning for mounting and shipping due to its weight and frame size. The foot-mounted (B3) frame is fixed to the floor, while the flange-mounted (B5) frame is used in pump and reducer connections; B35 combines both. At this rating the motor is usually shipped in a crate or on a pallet using lifting eyebolts.
- B3 foot mounting: Fixed floor mounting for large conveyors, crushers and fan systems.
- B5 flange mounting: Connects directly to a pump or reducer body with axial precision.
- B35 foot + flange: Combines both mounting options; provides flexibility in replacement orders.
To compare mounting types, review our B5 flange electric motors and B3 mounted electric motors pages. By planning the shipping and commissioning of the heavy motor together, we eliminate surprise delays.
Where the 110 kW Motor Is Most Used
The 110 kW band appears in the drives that form the backbone of heavy industry. Motor selection at this rating requires accounting not only for power but also for duty type, ambient temperature and continuous/intermittent operating regime.
| Sector / Application | Typical Drive | Priority Feature |
|---|---|---|
| Water and wastewater | Large lift and distribution pump | High efficiency in continuous running |
| Mining and aggregate | Crusher, screen, main belt conveyor | High torque, robust bearings |
| Compressed air | Large screw compressor | Thermal endurance under continuous load |
| Industrial fan | Forced-draft and exhaust fans | Low vibration, balanced running |

We supply the most demanded 2- and 4-pole configurations with B3/B5/B35 mounting options on a planned basis. You can view standard-frame high-power motor options on our standard electric motors page.
To define your need, three pieces of information are enough: power (110 kW), speed/pole and mounting type (B3, B5 or B35). With these three headings we offer you the most accurate price-performance recommendation and a fast quotation. Simply contact us for current electric motor prices and stock status.
Frequently Asked Questions
What determines the 110 kW electric motor price?
Pole count (speed), efficiency class (IE3/IE4), mounting type and requested options are the main factors. In direct-from-manufacturer sales, with no intermediary cost, the price-performance balance is often more favourable.
What is the delivery time for a 110 kW motor?
We supply the most demanded 2- and 4-pole configurations on a planned basis. If the configuration is ready, delivery is fast; special options and shipping details are clarified during the fast quotation stage.
Is it sensible to move to IE4 in a 110 kW motor?
If your daily operating hours are high and continuous, IE4 super premium efficiency pays for itself quickly through the difference in energy cost. For medium-intensity plants, IE3 is a balanced choice.
Which frame size is used for a 110 kW motor?
110 kW motors are typically built in a 315 frame size. The frame detail may change with speed and efficiency class; for a correct replacement the existing motor's nameplate data is enough.
Does a 110 kW motor need a softstarter or a VFD?
A softstarter is recommended for constant-speed pumps, fans and compressors; a VFD for applications requiring variable flow. We determine the most suitable starting method for your application together during the fast quotation process.
