SEW-Eurodrive – other models: the collective page of three-phase motors outside the named ranges from the Australian GEMS/MEPS register, 0.75 to 160 kW, 2- to 6-pole, IP54 to IP66, efficiencies up to 96.5%
This page gathers the SEW-Eurodrive three-phase motors the register could not assign to a named range, from the Australian GEMS/MEPS registration database for electric motors. SEW-Eurodrive is headquartered in Bruchsal and is best known for geared motors, the combination of an electric motor with an attached gearbox; the motors recorded here, however, are the manufacturer's standalone motor ranges. The register lists several manufacturing countries at once for a number of models – for instance Germany, France, the USA, Brazil, China, New Zealand and Australia in varying combinations – reflecting SEW-Eurodrive's international plant network, though a single country of manufacture per model cannot be reliably determined from it. The type codes recognisably follow the pattern DRE-frame size-pole count, for example DRE100L4; at SEW-Eurodrive the prefix DR denotes the three-phase motor range, and the additional E marks an energy-efficient version.

The register lists here 210 versions from 0.75 to 160 kW, 2- to 6-pole, with efficiencies from 74.6 to 96.5% at both full load and 75% load, protection classes mostly between IP54 and IP66, and frame sizes from 80 to 315 (IEC). Of the 177 models with a GEMS classification recorded, 82 reach the "2005 High Efficiency Level" and one model the "2018 High Efficiency Level"; the rest carry no such classification.
SEW-Eurodrive is one of the leading drive manufacturers for machine and plant construction; the standalone motors gathered here cover the range outside the large, separately maintained series and are typically also used detached from the gearbox, for instance as a replacement motor or for direct drives.
For used SEW motors, alongside the usual checkpoints – winding insulation resistance, bearing running noise and play, free running of the shaft, condition of the fan and fan cowl – it is especially worth matching frame size, pole count, protection class and efficiency class on the rating plate against the original geared-motor fitment, if the motor came from such a combination. For inverter operation, winding insulation and bearings should be checked separately.

Frequently asked questions
How much power does the SEW-EURODRIVE DV180M4 have?
The SEW-EURODRIVE DV180M4 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.
