The Rotek 160L-6 is a three-phase induction motor built by Rotek. The rated output is 11 kW. The motor is six-pole, which at 50 Hz gives a synchronous speed of 1,000 rpm. The rated voltage is 400 V. The housing is frame size 160 L in foot-mounted form. The protection class is IP55. The efficiency is 88.5 per cent at full load, 88.6 per cent at 75 per cent load and 85.5 per cent at half load. The motor is built in China. The values are recorded in the Australian MEPS registration under standard AS/NZS 1359.5:2000 (Legacy); measured to AS/NZS 1359.102.3:2000. Rated output across the Rotek range ranges from 0.18 to 160 kW; the 160L-6 sits at the bottom of that range with 11 kW. Its immediate neighbours are the RXQ 7.5Kw 3 Phase Vertical 2 Pole Motor below it with 7.5 kW and the 160L-4 above it with 15 kW. 132 Rotek models are on record. The model is listed under Electric motors. 22 verified figures from 1 source are on file.

Rotek – other models: the collective page of MEPS-registered three-phase motors outside the named ranges, manufactured in China and Taiwan, frame sizes 63 to 280, 0.18 to 90 kW, 2- to 6-pole

This page gathers the Rotek three-phase motors the Australian energy-efficiency register could not assign to a named range. No confirmed data on the company itself is available. The model designations in the register are inconsistent: alongside plain-text descriptions such as "1.1Kw 6 Pole Motor", coded type designations like 160M1-2, following the frame-size/length/pole-count scheme, appear side by side.

The register lists here 55 versions with 0.18 to 90 kW, two- to six-pole, full-load efficiencies from 65.9 to 94.9% and at 75% load from 65.1 to 96%. Frame sizes run from 63 to 280, protection is almost exclusively IP55 (54 of 55). China (46) and Taiwan (9) are recorded as manufacturing countries. Testing mostly followed the older 2000 Legacy AS/NZS 1359.5 standard (43), alongside the 2004 version (12), with test methods A (51) and B (4); none of the 55 motors carries a documented High Efficiency classification under GEMS.

With its broad output band from under 1 kW to 90 kW and manufacturing in China and Taiwan, Rotek covers a wide field of standard applications, from small fans to larger pump and conveyor drives.

When buying used, what matters is bearing condition and a checked insulation resistance of the winding, visible corrosion on the terminal box and fan cover, the condition of shaft and key, and a legible nameplate with frame size and pole count; since none of the motors carries a High Efficiency classification, actual efficiency should be measured if in doubt. Spares and support depend on the distribution channel.

Frequently asked questions

How much power does the Rotek 160L-6 have?

The Rotek 160L-6 delivers 11 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.
