New ideas transform the world. In this context, WEG announces the launch of the W80 AXgen, an axial flux motor that allows Original Equipment Manufacturer (OEM) partners to innovate and create cutting-edge solutions. The new motor was initially launched in the North American and European markets, with an official launch in Brazil planned for the first half of 2025. Efforts for eco-friendly solutions The W80 AXgen offers flexibility by allowing the combination of multiple motors to scale up power With an innovative design, this solution is crafted to optimise space usage and significantly reduce logistics costs by enabling the creation of compact, lightweight, and efficient machines and equipment. A bold motor, it drives OEM partners to achieve their sustainability goals by developing products with a lower environmental impact, aligning with global efforts for more eco-friendly solutions. Beyond simplifying logistics, the W80 AXgen offers flexibility by allowing the combination of multiple motors to scale up power, catering to a wide range of industrial applications. This enhances the competitiveness of the developed products, opening doors to tackle challenges and those of the future. Technological innovation The W80 AXgen is fully integrated with WEG’s CFW900 line of inverters. This combination enables the operation of multiple motors with a single inverter, without requiring additional filters, even in installations with long cables of up to 200 metres. This compatibility leads to greater reliability, competitiveness, and reduced operational costs. This launch is part of WEG’s strategy to meet the demands of a market increasingly focused on energy efficiency and environmental responsibility, combining technological innovation with efficiency and sustainable practices.

The WG20 S is the perfect combination of the efficiency of helical gears and the cost-effectiveness of worm drive gearboxes. It is compact and features a modern and functional design, saving space and producing low noise levels. A complete solution that carries WEG’s reliability and quality, already recognised in the WG20 gearmotor line. Available in five sizes and reaching torque from 125 to 1,600 Nm, it has standard dimensions for total interchangeability. In addition, it offers versatility and a high transmission ratio in a single gearbox. WEG innovation The flexibility of the WG20 S line stands out due to the variety of output shaft options, such as solid shaft, hollow shaft with key, hollow shaft with shrink disc and Easylock. Furthermore, it offers mounting through the housing, torque arm and flange. Those options allow for versatile mounting according to the equipment requirements.
