What the ratings mean

IP23 primarily resists larger solids and light spray. It is intended for clean, dry equipment rooms. IP54 adds dust protection and resistance to water splashes from any direction—better for typical factory floors with airborne particles and humidity.

SPERAN offers motor protection options across box and integrated packages so you can match the machine to the actual site environment.

Lower-rated motors may cost less upfront but can need more frequent cleaning and are more vulnerable to moisture-related failures. Higher protection usually reduces unplanned downtime in dusty plants and continuous production environments.
