BCT — three-phase motors, cast-iron frame
Three-phase IEC motors in cast-iron frames 80 to 315, IE3 / IE4, 0.75 – 200 kW.
The BCT series is the heavy-duty three-phase range. The cast-iron frame gives high mechanical rigidity and permits outputs up to 200 kW in frame 315. It is available in IE3 (premium) and IE4 (super-premium) efficiency classes, in 2, 4, 6 and 8-pole versions. IE3 and IE4 motors are fitted with a PTC thermistor.
Key characteristics

Typical applications
General machinery
Production machines and assembly lines running for long periods: three-phase BMT and BCT motors, worm gearboxes with pre-stage for low speeds.
Hoisting and lifting
Applications needing safe stopping and holding: BCL brake motors and cast-iron BCT motors.
Packaging
Conveyors, filling, wrapping and labelling machines: BMT motors with BG or BV gearboxes for compact right-angle drives.
Maintenance and replacement
IEC-standard dimensions and mountings allow Bernati motors to replace existing IEC motors of the same frame size.
