Each frame size is designed for a certain range of motor power and IEC flange. The common pairings given on the product pages of the HEM worm series are:
| Frame | Common motor power | Common IEC input (B5/B14) |
|---|---|---|
| HEM30 | 0.06–0.18 kW | 56, 63 |
| HEM40 | 0.12–0.37 kW | 63, 71 |
| HEM50 | 0.18–0.75 kW | 63, 71, 80 |
| HEM63 | 0.37–1.5 kW | 71, 80, 90 |
| HEM75 | 0.75–3 kW | 80, 90, 100 |
| HEM90 | 1.5–5.5 kW | 90, 100, 112, 132 |
| HEM110 | 2.2–7.5 kW | 100, 112, 132 |
| HEM130 | 4–11 kW | 112, 132, 160 |
The range is wider in the helical series: according to the tables on the pages, M-HEM 37–157 and HF37–HF127 frames pair with motors from about 0.12 kW to 90 kW. The table is a starting point; fitting a large motor to the same frame with a high ratio can push output torque above the frame limit. The final selection is confirmed against the catalogue and in the quotation; example product: HEM63 worm gearbox.
