Overview
This frame belongs to the compact end of the Z4 family, focused on easier integration, smaller footprint, and flexible retrofit space in medium-duty production lines.
In the Z4 catalogue, this frame is usually selected when users need a practical balance between electrical output and installation envelope for continuous industrial duty.
Common Models in This Frame
- Z4-132-1
- Z4-132-2
- Z4-132-3
- Z4-132-4
Typical Specifications
- Voltage: Typical armature voltage in sample rows: 400 V; series-level options include 160 V/440 V with other derived voltages on request.
- Speed: 2610 to 2800 r/min (typical range from sample data).
- Power range: 18.5 to 27.0 kW (typical range from sample data).
- Cooling options: Base methods are IC06 / IC17 / IC37; blower location for this frame is typically on the non-drive side.
- Mounting form: IMB3/IMB35/IMV1/IMV15 in the Z4 catalogue scope.
- Efficiency: Rated-point efficiency values are listed model-by-model in the technical table; actual values depend on specific model, speed, and duty.
Installation and Dimensions
Z4 frame motors follow series-level installation platforms, with dimensions largely aligned to IEC72 practice except for the axial distance “B” between the two foot holes.
For this frame, code “1/2” in model designation indicates short/long endshield variants. Detailed dimensions vary by specific model and mounting form.
Compared with adjacent frames, Z4-132 keeps the same design language but differs in shaft, cooling demand, and installation footprint corresponding to output level.
Applications
- Medium-duty machine tools
- Paper line sectional drives
- Plastic extrusion auxiliary stations
Compared with larger frames, this frame prioritizes compact layout and easier machine integration over maximum power density.
Optional Configurations
- Compensating winding is generally not the standard configuration for this frame; confirm case-by-case if needed.
- ZYS-A tachogenerator can be installed on the non-drive side when speed feedback is required.
- Terminal box default position is right side (viewed from drive end); left side or top position is available by request.
- Special mounting and accessory combinations can be arranged for retrofit projects.
- IC410 totally enclosed frame-cooled variant
- IC01 shaft-fan self-cooled variant

FAQ
What is the difference between Z4-132 and nearby frame sizes?
The main differences are power capability, speed combinations, installation footprint, and cooling demand. Final selection should be based on rated torque, base speed, and space constraints.
Can Z4-132 be configured with different cooling and mounting options?
Yes. Standard Z4 cooling includes IC06/IC17/IC37, and additional cooling structures may be available depending on frame range and project requirements. Mounting options are selected according to the catalogue scope for this frame.
Are all models in this frame interchangeable one-to-one?
Not directly. Even inside the same frame, armature core length, endshield version, speed class, and optional accessories can differ. Confirm mechanical and electrical details before replacement or retrofit.
