Ask which motor type appears most often in industry and the answer is usually the asynchronous motor. Running on alternating current (AC), these motors have no brushes or commutator; that simple construction makes them a low-failure, easy-to-maintain workhorse. At HEM Motor we manufacture asynchronous motors in our own facility and deliver from stock, offering both single-phase and three-phase models across a wide power and speed range.
The operating principle is simple yet robust: the rotating magnetic field in the stator induces current in the rotor and torque is born. Because the rotor turns slightly slower than this field, the resulting gap is called slip; near full load this is about 4% in our motors. Built with IP55 protection and Class F insulation, they suit speed and torque control via an inverter.
With the right protection relay and thermal setting, an asynchronous motor serves trouble-free for many years. If you seek higher efficiency, see our IE4 and IE5 series.

In applications that require precise speed and torque control of asynchronous motors, the control method of the frequency inverters (VFD) that manage speed and torque is of great i... More Details
An asynchronous motor may be selected at the right power, the right speed and the right mounting type; yet the drive train may still experience unexplained vibration, coupling fail... More Details
An electric motor's mounting position determines not only how it connects to the machine but also how the motor's bearings are loaded. When a motor is mounted vertically and receiv... More Details
Have you ever wondered why some models of an asynchronous motor run sweet and quiet, while others run with a high-pitched whine? Most of the answer lies in a design detail that is ... More Details
Summary (TL;DR) In a permanent delta connection each winding is exposed to the line-to-line voltage; a 230/400 V motor runs in delta on a 230 V supply. For a 400/690 V motor, delta... More Details
Star-delta starting is the most common and most economical method of reducing the starting current on asynchronous motors. The motor is first connected in star, keeping current and... More Details
One of the most insidious faults of an asynchronous motor is an earth (frame) leakage. When the winding insulation degrades over time due to moisture, heat, vibration or contamina... More Details
How many leads you see when you open the terminal box of an asynchronous motor directly determines what you can do with that motor. In three-phase asynchronous motors, the terminal... More Details
The question "soft starter or VFD" on an asynchronous motor is one of the most confused and most often wrongly decided topics in the field. Both devices give the motor a ... More Details
The vast majority of asynchronous motors run with a squirrel-cage (short-circuited bar) rotor; this rotor, in which aluminium or copper bars are joined by short-circuit rings, is a... More Details
You don't want a conveyor belt to spill its load when it stops, a crane load to drift downward while suspended in the air, or an automatic door to coast freely as it closes. This ... More Details
In many applications where the speed of asynchronous motors must be held steady and accurate, the motor's actual speed has to be measured and fed back to the drive. One of the olde... More Details
In many facilities, the unnecessary heating, efficiency loss and even burnout of asynchronous motors often stems from an unexpected cause: the supply voltage rising above the rated... More Details
The great majority of asynchronous motors have a squirrel-cage rotor; these rotors are simple, robust and maintenance-free. But in applications with high inertia, demanding heavy ... More Details
When an induction motor must be placed far from its supply, the cable length is a parameter often overlooked yet it causes two separate, serious problems. The first, in grid-fed sy... More Details
One of the most frequently misunderstood concepts in induction motor selection is the service factor (SF). Appearing as a small number on the nameplate, this value defines the shor... More Details
When you decide to run an asynchronous motor with a variable frequency drive (VFD), the control mode the drive will operate in is a question at least as important as the motor itse... More Details
One of the most frustrating situations in a plant running asynchronous motors is the entire process stopping after a brief voltage dip or momentary grid outage. Even an interruptio... More Details
Large asynchronous motors do not stop immediately when disconnected from the grid. The rotor keeps spinning for a while under the load's and its own inertia, and this rotating roto... More Details
In three-phase asynchronous motors the most insidious and most common cause of burnout is single-phasing – the loss of one of the three phases. When a fuse blows, a contactor... More Details
