Product Overview and Core Parameters
1. Series positioning and differences in sub series
The SIMOTICS 1LE8 series is a low-voltage high-power motor developed by Siemens specifically for the Chinese market. Based on a global design platform, it focuses on high reliability and high power density and is divided into two sub series. The core differences are shown in the table below:
Comparison dimension 1LE8003 (universal type) 1LE8033 (frequency conversion specific type)
Core use: General scenario (mainly direct supply, optional frequency conversion) Frequency conversion specific scenario (≤ 690V), suitable for steel, lifting, etc
Insulation usage level: 130 (B) for direct supply, 155 (F) for variable frequency, and 155 (F) for variable frequency operation
Bearing configuration: Deep groove ball/angular contact ball bearings (optional insulated bearings), standard insulated bearings (anti stray current damage)
Temperature protection optional PTC/PT100/PT1000 standard dual group PTC (145 ℃ alarm/155 ℃ trip)
Variable frequency voltage upper limit ≤ 460V ≤ 690V (optional N90 special insulation, no need for variable frequency filter)

Detailed explanation of mechanical characteristics
1. Structure and installation
Machine base and appearance: The machine base material is gray cast iron, standard color RAL7030 (stone gray), supports multiple installation structures (compliant with IEC 60034-7), and the core installation types and codes are as follows:
Installation type code (14th digit of order number) Applicable scenarios
IM B3 A machine base with feet, end cover without flange
IM B35 J machine base with feet, end cover with flange
The IM V1 G machine base does not have feet, and the end cover has a flange
Junction box: standard top mounted (order number 16th digit is 4), rotatable 4 × 90 °, supports upper right (5) and upper left (6) configurations; The 315 machine base contains 2 main inlet holes (M72 × 2), and the 355 machine base contains 3 main inlet holes, all of which are sealed with screw plugs. The maximum number of auxiliary terminals is 24 (L97 auxiliary junction box is required for excess).
2. Bearings and lubrication
Bearing configuration: The standard is deep groove ball bearings (6316 C4 for 315 machine base 2-pole, 6319 C4 for 4-8 pole; 6317 C4 for 355 machine base 2-pole, 6320 C4 for 4-8 pole), and 1LE8033 comes with insulated bearings as standard; The L22 enhanced design (with cylindrical roller bearings on the drive end) is available for high arm suspension scenarios.
Lubrication parameters (horizontal installation, 40 ℃ environment):
Machine base number, pole number, lubrication cycle (h), amount of grease added (g)
315 2 3000 30
315 4 4000 40
315 6/8 6000 40
355 2 3000 30
355 4 4000 60
355 6/8 6000 60
Note: For every 10 ℃ increase in ambient temperature, the lubrication cycle is shortened by 50%.
3. Cooling method
Standard configuration: IC411 self fan cooling (radial centrifugal fan, independent of rotation direction);
Optional: F70 independent drive fan (recommended for low speed/over rated speed to reduce noise), the motor length increases by Δ L after installation (315 base+180mm, 355 base+150mm), and the fan parameters are 220V Δ/380VY, 50Hz, 1100W.

Electrical characteristics and protection
1. Voltage and frequency adaptability
Voltage deviation: Supports deviation between Class A (± 5%) and Class B (± 10%) of IEC 60034-1, with a temperature increase of approximately 10K for Class A and long-term operation not recommended for Class B;
Frequency deviation: Class A ± 2%, Class B+3%/-5%;
Core voltage configuration:
1LE8003:380VΔ/660VY、400VΔ/690VY(50Hz);
1LE8033: 500V Δ (standard), 690VY (options 0-6).
2. Motor protection
Winding protection: Supports PTC, PT100, PT1000 three types of components, and the selection corresponds to the 15th digit code of the order number:
Protection type code, number of wiring terminals, core parameters
