The CMG HGM 160MB-8 comes from the HGM series. The rated output is 5.5 kW. The motor is eight-pole, which at 50 Hz gives a synchronous speed of 750 rpm. The rated voltage is 415 V. The housing is frame size 160 M in foot-mounted form. The protection class is IP55. The efficiency is 86.4 per cent at full load, 86.5 per cent at 75 per cent load and 85.1 per cent at half load. The motor is built in China. The data is based on the Australian MEPS registration under the GEMS Determination 2019; measured to AS 1359.102.1:1997. The HGM series covers 13 models. Rated output within it ranges from 0.75 to 90 kW; the HGM 160MB-8 sits at the bottom of that range with 5.5 kW. Its immediate neighbours are the HGM 160MA-8 below it with 4 kW and the HGM 160L-8 above it with 7.5 kW. 815 CMG models across 5 series are on record.

CMG HGM – other models: the collective page of MEPS-registered three-phase motors from the Australian supplier outside the named versions, HGM range made in China, frame sizes 80 to 315, 0.75 to 90 kW, 2- to 8-pole

This page gathers the HGM-range three-phase motors from CMG the Australian energy-efficiency register could not assign to a named model. CMG is an Australian industrial-motor business that sells three-phase motors for the Australian market; according to the register entries, manufacturing is in China. Model designations such as HGM 100LA-8 or HGM 315L8 combine the IEC frame size with the build length (LA, MA, MB) and the pole count at the end.

The register lists here 13 versions with 0.75 to 90 kW, two- to eight-pole, full-load efficiencies from 73.3 to 94.2% and at 75% load from 72.4 to 94%. Frame sizes run from 80 to 315, protection is overwhelmingly IP55, voltage is uniformly 415 V. Testing mostly followed the 2019 GEMS determination, consistently with test method A; of 13 motors, 8 reach the 2005 High Efficiency Level, the remaining 5 stay unclassified.

The HGM range forms the multi-pole standard-motor block within CMG's programme, from eight- to two-pole, and positions itself as a value alternative to ABB, Siemens or WEG for pumps, fans, conveyors and general drive tasks in the Australian market.

When buying used, bearing condition and a checked insulation resistance of the winding, the visible condition of the terminal box and fan cover, the condition of shaft and key, and a legible nameplate with frame size, pole count and efficiency class all matter; spares run through CMG's Australian distribution.

Frequently asked questions

How much power does the CMG HGM 160MB-8 have?

The CMG HGM 160MB-8 delivers 5.5 kW.

What to check before buying

Match the data plate against the order: frame size, mounting and rating have to agree.
Check the ingress rating against the installation site — outdoors or in dust the demands differ.
Hold the mounting form and dimensions against the existing seat before ordering.
The pole count sets the speed — when replacing an older unit, compare this first.
For used units, ask about winding condition and bearing play.
Ask about parts availability for this series — the running costs hang on it.
