Siemens & Innomotics SIMOGEAR Coaxial Helical Geared Motors
SIMOGEAR is the modern, highly efficient geared motor platform developed by Siemens as the direct successor to the legacy Flender MOTOX series. Following Siemens' corporate restructuring of its electric motor and geared motor division, the entire SIMOGEAR portfolio has been integrated under the Innomotics brand identity.
Engineering Advantage & MOTOX Retrofit Compatibility:
• SIMOGEAR coaxial helical units offer up to 96% high transmission efficiency per stage, higher torque density, and plug-in motor pinion interfaces.
• Integrated with Siemens/Innomotics LE/LA motors (such as 1LE0003 and 1LE1501 IE3 motors) across frame sizes IEC 63 to IEC 225M.
• 100% Direct Drop-in Retrofit: SIMOGEAR sizes (e.g., Z39, Z49, D69, D89, D109) feature standardized output shaft diameters and foot/flange bolt patterns designed to directly replace legacy Siemens MOTOX gearmotors (Z38, Z48, D68, D88, D108) with zero frame modification.
The SIMOGEAR Coaxial Inline Helical Geared Motor Series (comprising 1-stage E, 2-stage Z, and 3-stage D executions) provides superior energy efficiency, low acoustic noise levels, and compact dimensions for industrial automation. Matched with Siemens / Innomotics SIMOTICS AC motors from 0.09 kW up to 55 kW, SIMOGEAR delivers nominal output torques from 30 Nm up to 19,000 Nm. Available in foot-mounted, B5 flange-mounted (EF/ZF/DF), B14 flange-mounted (EZ/ZZ/DZ), and agitator design options, SIMOGEAR is heavily specified across conveyor systems, roller tables, water treatment mixers, car assembly plants, and automated logistics warehouses.
