By Marek Lukaszczyk, European and Middle East marketing manager at WEG, highlights the importance of motor efficiency in 2023 and how manufacturers can stay ahead of the curve.

Marek Lukaszczyk, European marketing manager at gearbox manufacturer, WEG explains where geared motor maintenance fits into this paradigm.

Industrial gears are essential for transferring power and motion, but design and specification is more diverse. Marek Lukaszczyk, Europe and Middle East marketing manager for geared motor manufacturer, WEG, explains how to specify the correct gear unit for your application.

WEG will demonstrate its flameproof W22Xd motor, which is designed to meet the latest market requirements and certifications for hazardous areas. It will also demonstrate several high-performing and energy-efficient variable speed drives.

Digital technologies are accelerating innovation and efficiency at an unprecedented scale. Improved accessibility and affordability have made it simpler than ever to implement advanced digital systems to improve industrial processes.

Hydropower is an extremely old source of energy, tracing its usage back to the watermills that were relied on by ancient civilisations. Here, Marek Lukaszczyk, European and Middle East marketing manager at global manufacturer of motors and drive technology, WEG, explains how plant managers can make today’s hydropower smarter, more efficient, and reap financial and carbon savings by embracing energy efficient products and Industrial Internet of Things (IIoT) technology.

Over 200 years, electric motors have evolved into one of the largest single consumers of energy in the world and, today, they account for around 45 per cent of global energy consumption. Here, Marek Lukaszczyk, European and Middle East marketing manager at WEG, the global manufacturer and supplier of motors and drive technology, explains why, and how, motor designs and innovations have always strived for new levels of efficiency.

Why understanding motor data is key for efficient operation.

Global motor manufacturer, WEG has successfully completed an energy saving project for Orleplast, a leading packaging manufacturer based in Brazil. With the initial goal of achieving greater productivity, Orleplast took the opportunity to invest in more efficient equipment for its site, turning to the experts at WEG’s Energy Efficiency Business Centre for support.

“Non-linear means it's hard to solve” once said Arthur Mattuck, the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) mathematician. But non-linearity should be solved when it applies to electric loads, as it generates harmonic currents that have negative — and costly — effects on electrical distribution. Here, Marek Lukaszczyk, European and Middle East marketing manager at WEG, the global manufacturer and supplier of motors and drive technology, explains how harmonics can be mitigated in inverter applications.
