48V 4.5kW Explosion-Proof Series Wound DC Motor XQB-4.5 (for Chemical, Oil & Gas & Hazardous Industrial Equipment)

The XQB-4.5 is an industrial-grade 48V 4.5kW DC series wound motor engineered specifically for mining and hazardous industrial environments. Featuring a tightly sealed explosion-proof enclosure and an IP54 rating, it effectively isolates internal electrical components from flammable gases and combustible dust. Delivering a robust 118A current at 1800 rpm with a 6-tooth external spline connection, this heavy-duty motor ensures stable torque and reliable operation in demanding applications. Manufactured to meet strict industry compliance and safety standards, it is the optimal OEM power solution for high-risk operational conditions.

Brushed DC Motor Family

The XQB-4.5 is a series wound DC motor — it belongs to the brushed DC motor family. Current reaches the rotor through carbon brushes and a commutator, the same as compound and shunt DC motors. What makes the brushed design relevant here is ruggedness: with no fragile electronics on the rotor, the motor tolerates the shock, dust and heat of heavy industrial duty, and the whole assembly can be sealed inside a flame-proof enclosure.

Series Wound — Why High Starting Torque Suits Hazardous Auxiliary Loads

A series wound DC motor draws its highest current — and therefore develops its highest torque — at zero speed. That is exactly what a conveyor, winch or pump needs when it has to break a load free from a standstill in a hazardous area. Once running, the speed falls as the load rises, which protects the drive mechanically. The catch with a bare series motor is that it must never be run uncoupled (it can overspeed), so it is fed through a 48V DC controller sized for the 118 A draw. The flame-proof Ex db IIB T4 Gb enclosure then does the safety job: any spark at the brushes or commutator is contained inside a heavy cast housing that cannot transmit an ignition to the surrounding flammable gas.

How to Choose the Right Auxiliary Motor

  • By voltage: this model is 48V DC — match your equipment's battery pack. 24V / 36V / 60V / 72V versions are available on request.
  • By load: 4.5 kW suits a single conveyor, dewatering pump, winch or hydraulic power pack. Running several loads together, or near-continuous duty, may call for a larger frame.
  • By certification: this motor is certified Ex db IIB T4 Gb for industrial gas atmospheres (gas group IIB, Zone 1 / Zone 2). If your site is a different gas group (IIA / IIC) or has combustible dust, tell us your zone and group so we can confirm the correct variant.
  • By mounting: B3 foot mount (this model). B5 flange or B35 foot-and-flange can be supplied — confirm your coupling and base pattern before ordering.
  • By duty: S2-60min rated — designed for intermittent auxiliary operation. For near-continuous running, size up or discuss duty with our team.
  • Customization: voltage, flange type, shaft and duty cycle can all be customized — contact engineering with your specification.

Frequently Asked Questions

Q: Is the XQB-4.5 a traction motor or an auxiliary motor?

A: Auxiliary. The XQB-4.5 is a series wound DC motor for non-traction loads in hazardous areas — process conveyors, pumps, winches and mixers. It is not built to drive the main wheels. For main-wheel drive, see our series-wound DC traction motor range.

Q: What explosion-proof certification does the XQB-4.5 carry?

A: It is certified Ex db IIB T4 Gb — the flame-proof rating for industrial gas atmospheres (gas group IIB, Zone 1 / Zone 2). The cast enclosure contains any internal arc or spark so it cannot ignite the surrounding flammable gas. If your site is a different gas group (IIA / IIC) or has combustible dust, tell our engineering team your zone and group so we can advise the correct variant.

Q: Can you customize the voltage, mounting or shaft of the XQB-4.5?

A: Yes. OEM/ODM is supported — 24V / 36V / 48V / 60V / 72V, B3 foot mount (this model) or B5 / B35 on request, the 6-tooth external spline shaft and the duty cycle can all be customized. Send your equipment specification to our engineering team.
