The SK180M from CMG is a three-phase induction motor. The rated output is 18.5 kW. The motor is four-pole, which at 50 Hz gives a synchronous speed of 1,500 rpm. The rated voltage is 400 V. The housing is frame size 180 M in foot-mounted form. The protection class is IP55. The efficiency is 90.1 per cent at full load, 90 per cent at 75 per cent load and 88.7 per cent at half load. The motor is built in Germany. The figures come from the Australian MEPS register under standard AS/NZS 1359.5:2000 (Legacy); measured to IEC 60034-2-1 (Edition 2.0). Rated output across the CMG range ranges from 0.75 to 160 kW; the SK180M sits at the bottom of that range with 18.5 kW. Its immediate neighbours are the XPA180L below it with 15 kW and the HGA180L-4 above it with 22 kW. 815 CMG models are on record. The model is listed under Electric motors. 23 verified figures from 1 source are on file.

CMG – other models: the collective page of MEPS-registered three-phase motors from the Australian supplier outside the named ranges, frame sizes 80 to 355, 0.75 to 160 kW, 2- to 8-pole

This page gathers the CMG three-phase motors the Australian energy-efficiency register could not assign to a named range. CMG is an Australian industrial-motor business that sells three-phase motors and drive technology for the Australian market; according to the register entries, manufacturing lies mainly in China. Recognisable range names appear in the motor-family field with the codes HGA, HGM, HPD and XGA, which presumably denote different frame or housing classes within the standard-motor range; the exact meaning of the letters cannot be reliably confirmed from the dump.

The register lists here 719 versions with 0.75 to 160 kW, two- to eight-pole, full-load efficiencies from 72 to 96.8% and at 75% load from 70.4 to 96.7%. Protection is mainly IP55 and IP66, frame sizes run from 80 to 355. China (643), Australia (47), Germany (11), Chile (9), Thailand (5) and the Cocos Islands (2) are recorded as manufacturing countries. Testing mostly followed the 2012 (449) and 2019 (167) GEMS determinations and AS/NZS 1359.5, with test method B for the large majority; of all 719 motors, 189 reach the 2005 High Efficiency Level (roughly IE2), the remaining 530 stay unclassified.

CMG positions itself in the Australian market as a value alternative to the big international brands such as ABB, Siemens or WEG, with a broad range of IEC standard motors for pumps, fans, conveyors and general drive tasks.

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 matter (only about a quarter of the models even carry a High Efficiency classification); anyone wanting to run the motor on a variable-speed drive should check its suitability beforehand. Spares run through CMG's Australian distribution.

Frequently asked questions

How much power does the CMG SK180M have?

The CMG SK180M delivers 18.5 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.
