Suitable for equipment requiring frequent starting, forward/reverse switching, low-speed operation, and variable loads.

This 2.2 kW drive motor has a rated speed of 1,500 rpm.
Rated power: 2.2 kW.
Rated torque: approximately 14 N·m.
The output torque can be further amplified using a reduction gearbox.
For example, with a 10:1 reduction ratio and an assumed transmission efficiency of 90%, the theoretical output torque is approximately: 14 × 10 × 90% ≈ 126 N·m.
If a 20:1 reduction ratio is used: 14 × 20 × 90% ≈ 252 N·m.
When designing a forklift drive system, one cannot simply look at motor speed; the system must be matched by considering the reduction ratio, wheel diameter, vehicle weight, and target vehicle speed.

This 2.2 kW drive motor operates on 72V DC.
Rated current: 36A.
The 72V system is compatible with corresponding forklift batteries, motor controllers, and the vehicle's overall electrical system.
A key advantage of the 72V system is that it allows for lower operating currents compared to lower-voltage systems while delivering the same power output.
Actual current draw is influenced by factors such as motor efficiency, control methods, and load conditions.

This motor serves as the core traction component within the powertrain of a 72V electric forklift.

The motor has a rated speed of 1500 r/min.
This speed is ideal for conversion via a reduction mechanism into the low-speed output required for forklift drive wheels.

This motor features an IP55 protection rating,
providing a degree of protection against dust and water ingress for the motor's internal components.
It is suitable for indoor logistics, warehousing, and factory forklift applications, with specifications adaptable to the actual operating environment.
If the vehicle is required to operate in harsher outdoor conditions, it is recommended to further verify the protection rating and sealing specifications based on the specific operating requirements.

The 2.2 kW drive motor operates on an S2-60 min duty cycle.
This is a short-time duty cycle with a rated operating period of 60 minutes.

Not all operating conditions require the motor to run at full load continuously for 24 hours.

If your forklift's actual operating pattern aligns with the S2 duty cycle, this 2.2 kW drive motor is a suitable choice.

However, if your equipment requires continuous full-load operation over extended periods, you will need to re-evaluate the motor specifications based on the actual duty cycle.

For indoor material handling equipment, this design reduces the noise generated by the drive system itself.

Actual vehicle noise is also influenced by factors such as the gearbox, tires, bearings, controller, and road surface; therefore, the 69 dB figure primarily applies to no-load testing conditions of the motor unit itself.

Based on the provided drawings for the 2.2 kW drive motor:

Motor Length: Approx. 238.2 mm
Housing Width: Approx. 157 mm
Overall Height: Approx. 121 mm
Mounting Base: Approx. 145 mm
Shaft Diameter: Approx. 12 mm
Shaft Extension: Approx. 48.3 mm

The unit utilizes an aluminum alloy housing designed for heat dissipation, effectively managing heat generated during motor operation.

Its compact dimensions simplify the overall layout integration of the motor, gearbox, and drive wheel.
It is recommended to verify axial dimensions, mounting hole locations, and interface specifications against the official 2D drawings prior to final installation.

You can provide the vehicle specifications to Auric, and we will match the appropriate drive motor based on parameters such as vehicle weight, rated load, wheel diameter, target speed, gradeability, and gear ratio.

There is no need for you to repeatedly test motors yourself; simply provide us with the following data:

Forklift curb weight

Rated load

Drive wheel diameter

Target maximum speed

Maximum gradeability (climb angle)

Gear reduction ratio

Battery voltage

We can then calculate the following:

Required traction force

Required wheel torque

Required motor torque

Required motor power

We can assist with component matching based on your vehicle's specifications.

If you are looking for a 2.2 kW drive motor for an electric forklift, send your required specifications to Auric. You can obtain motor parameters, dimension drawings, and matching drive solutions for your forklift.
