Motor failure = production shutdown. IP55 is your universal shield.
When a motor fails in a bottling plant or hospital ventilator, costs cascade: downtime (€15k+/hour), emergency repairs, lost contracts. 80% of failures start with two killers: bearing wear or contamination. At BLAUBERG, we combat both with a hardened core design.
Defense Layer 1: Bearings Built for Endurance
✓ Precision Bearings
✓ Grease -Stable from extreme temperatures
✓ Balanced Rotors – Reduce vibration wear
Defense Layer 2: IP55 – The Industrial Sweet Spot
| Threat | IP55 Protection | Real-World Impact |
|—————–|———————————————-|——————————————–|
| Dust & Chips| Full dust ingress prevention | No grinding paste in food conveyors |
| Water Jets | Resists low-pressure spray from any direction| Survives washdowns in dairy plants |
| Humidity | Sealed against condensation | Prevents corrosion in tropical HVAC units |
Why IP55 Beats “Flexible” Options:
– ✦ No compromise reliability: Standardized IP55 across all motors = consistent quality control
– ✦ Cost efficiency: No custom sealing fees or inventory complexity
– ✦ Global compliance: Meets EU Machinery Directive & UL 1004-1 requirements
BLAUBERG’s Durability Engineering:
– 100% salt spray tested (ISO 9227)
– Optional corrosion-resistant coatings for acidic environments
