Oil&Gas industry faces increasing pressure to The “W51Xdb” motor’s ability to reduce ener-
reduce carbon emissions and improve energy ef- gy consumption is crucial in helping companies
minimise their environmental footprint. This high
efficiency not only lowers operational costs but
also contributes to the global drive for sustain-
ability within the energy sector, aligning with the
industry’s increasing focus on environmental re-
sponsibility.
One of the standout features of the “W51Xdb”
motor is its compact design, which allows it to
deliver up to 800 kW of power in a smaller pack-
age compared to other motors in its class. This
compactness makes it ideal for high-demand
applications such as pumps, compressors and
fans, all of which are critical to Oil&Gas opera-
tions.
The lightweight nature of the “W51Xdb” motor—
up to 20 per cent lighter than previous mod-
els—also makes it easier to install and integrate
into existing systems, especially in environments
where space is limited. Offshore platforms and
remote oil fields, where every square metre of
space counts, benefit greatly from this design
innovation. Furthermore, the motor’s flexibili-
ty allows for more configurations in challenging
installations, such as high-vibration or high-hu-
