Frequently Asked Questions

Where are Lafert motors manufactured?

Lafert motors are primarily Italian-manufactured IEC metric motors, with the Lafert Group headquartered in San Donà Di Piave, Venice, Italy. They utilize their production facilities in Italy (and a few other locations) to maintain tight control over quality, ensuring every motor adheres to precise European engineering standards.

What does "IEC Metric Motor" mean?

An IEC metric motor is an electric motor built according to the standards established by the International Electrotechnical Commission (IEC). This means its physical dimensions (like shaft height and frame size) and performance ratings are standardized in metric units (millimeters and kilowatts), ensuring global interchangeability, unlike NEMA standards used predominantly in North America.

Does Lafert manufacture motors with IE4 efficiency?

Yes. In addition to their high-volume IE3 Premium Efficiency AC motors, Lafert specializes in high-efficiency Permanent Magnet (PM) Synchronous Motors, which are classified as IE4 Super Premium Efficiency, offering superior energy savings, especially when paired with VFDs.

Can Lafert motors be customized for specific industrial applications?

Absolutely. Lafert’s business model is heavily focused on customization. They are a preferred partner for OEMs due to their ability to provide tailored versions of their Lafert motors, including modifications for specific flanges, brake requirements, and hazardous environment certifications.

Is Electracore an authorized Lafert motor dealer?
