The IP (Ingress Protection or International Protection) code rating is an internationally recognized system developed to standardize the degree of protection that “enclosures” provide against foreign objects, water, or materials entering into these enclosures, causing damage or personal injury. IP codes also apply to linear actuators.
Practically speaking, the higher the numeric IP rating against dry solids and...Categories: Technical Support - Posted: June 24, 2014

At times, customers reach out to us in search of either standard or custom motors that are designed to withstand and excel in demanding conditions involving water, dust, or other external debris. In such scenarios, our team of dedicated Application Engineers takes charge, initiating a comprehensive inquiry into Ingress Protection (IP) ratings. These ratings, governed by the International Standard IEC 60529, serve to categorize and assess the level of protection a motor offers against the infiltration of foreign substances and liquids. The intention behind this standard is to empower users with a clearer comprehension of a motor's capabilities.
IP ratings can be dissected into two primary categories – solids and liquids. This entails that the motor boasts protection against particles as small as 1 mm, while additionally demonstrating resilience against splashes of water that might otherwise compromise its functionality.
In specific instances, customers express a need for specialized...
