IP rating is also known as Ingress Protection or International Protection ratings which are defined to the international standard of EN 60529. These standards are used to define the levels of sealing effectiveness of electrical enclosures against intrusion from foreign bodies such as dirt and water.  

The harsh environment IP66 motor and gearmotor product line from Benevelli is designed to provide reliable, trouble-free operation and long life in applications where dust and/or moisture intrusion are present. Designed and built with special physical and electrical protection features, Benevelli products are protected against dust that may cause premature commutator, brush and bearing failures and water that may cause corrosion or electrical failures.

Benevelli has developed and supplied motors and gearmotors for eMobility applications and other rugged applications where the environmental conditions are extremely harsh for decades. These products continue to reliably perform event when splashed with salt spray, water, harmful chemicals, dirt, mud and extreme temperature variations.

This extensive experience and knowledge in developing motors for many different harsh environment applications has resulted in the most  durable family of IP67-rated fractional horsepower motors and gearmotors in the industry.
