ELMO Submersible Motors

Reliable In-Oil Drive Solutions for Hydraulic Lifts

Whitesmith Solutions supplies ELMO’s proven submersible electric motors, engineered for continuous operation submerged in hydraulic oil—ideal for powering screw pumps in lift systems. Built in Italy with over 50 years of experience, these motors offer compact design, effective cooling, and long-lasting performance.


Key Features:


  • Submerged Design: Fully immersed in hydraulic oil for efficient cooling and silent operation—a space-saving solution with high thermal management .
  • Robust Overload Capacity: Engineered to tolerate up to 145% rated load for short periods, thanks to superior oil cooling and quality insulation for reliable performance under stress
  • Compact & Durable: Italian-made three-phase motors optimized for space constraints; fitted with flange alignment for smooth coupling to screw pumps, reducing vibration and wear
  • Easy Maintenance: IP00-rated, corrosion-resistant construction with integrated PTC sensors (for temperature protection) and standardized mounting points per EN 81‑2, simplifying installation and upkeep
  • Energy-Efficient Operation: Ideal for use with VVVF or soft-start drives to minimize inrush current and optimize lift performance, helping reduce energy costs by 20–30%
