ABB HDP Motors: High Power Density for Maximum Performance

High Dynamic Performance (HDP) motors, often refered to as square framed motors are engineered to deliver outstanding power density, providing higher output in a more compact design compared to conventional IEC motors. Available in frame sizes ranging from 80 to 400, these ABB electric motors include high-speed and liquid-cooled variants, as well as megawatt-class models for the most demanding applications. With low inertia motors and high pulse torque capabilities, they offer superior acceleration and precision, making them the ideal choice for industries such as plastic, paper, automation, and even the entertainment industry.

 

Optimized for variable speed motor applications, ABB’s HDP motors integrate seamlessly with frequency control technology, ensuring precise speed and torque regulation in high-performance systems. Their ability to deliver high torque and rapid direction changes makes them particularly suited for plastic and rubber extruders, injection molding machines, winders, lifting equipment, conveyors, machine tools, and test benches. Whether used in industrial automation, material handling, or other heavy-duty applications, these motors provide exceptional efficiency, reliability, and control. By choosing ABB, OEMs and machine builders gain access to state-of-the-art motor solutions that enhance productivity, optimize performance, and meet the evolving demands of modern industries.
