Siemens and Beide motors

🏭 The Corporate Relationship: Why Beide is a Smart Choice

It's important to know that Beide motors are not a generic alternative. They come from the same factory and legacy as Siemens motors in China.

• Direct Heritage: The company now known as Innomotics Standard Motors Ltd. was formerly called Siemens Motor (China) Co., Ltd. and was officially renamed in 2024. This entity is Siemens' largest R&D and production base for low-voltage motors in China.
• Unchanged Quality: Official communications stress that despite the name change from Siemens to Beide/Innomotics, all production facilities, quality systems, and technical standards remain the same. As one source notes, Beide motors "inherit the original Siemens brand and quality".

🤔 How to Choose for Your Tube Mill Line

For your ERW tube mill product line, where consistent performance and minimizing downtime are critical, here is a simple guide:

1. Prioritize Beide for Core Value: The Beide motor is a highly strategic choice. It delivers the reliability needed for industrial machinery without the premium cost associated with the global Siemens brand, offering outstanding value.
2. Justify Premium Siemens for Specific Needs: Opt for a global Siemens motor (like SIMOTICS) only if your application requires seamless integration with a full Siemens automation system, operates in an extremely harsh environment beyond standard industrial settings, or is specified by an end-client with a strict preference.
3. Avoid Generic Motors for Critical Systems: While the upfront cost is tempting, the risk of unplanned downtime, frequent replacements, and potential damage to your mill's reputation far outweighs the initial savings. They are best suited for non-critical, auxiliary equipment.
