Who is Leroy Somer and what does it make?

Leroy-Somer is a French manufacturer of electric motors, alternators and drives, based in Angoulême and active since 1919. The range covers three-phase induction motors, synchronous motors, brake motors, gear motors from the Compabloc and Orthobloc families, Unimotor hd servo motors and AC and DC drives. For Romania we can quote Leroy-Somer motors and gear motors for general industrial drives.

The synchronous motors in the FLSHRM, LSHRM and PLSHRM series belong to the manufacturer's synchronous motor range, while the Compabloc gear motors (helical, axial output), Multibloc/Minibloc (worm-wheel) and Orthobloc (bevel-helical, orthogonal) cover most of the mechanical configurations required in production. The Mentor MP DC drive remains an option for classic DC drives, and the Digistart D4/D5 electronic starters replace direct-on-line starting on higher-power motors.

For production lines, lifting systems, HVAC installations and food industry equipment in Romania, the Leroy-Somer range offers a complete motor-gearbox-drive alternative, especially useful where the project calls for high-efficiency synchronous motors or compact gear motors.

The company's history begins in 1919, in the Charente region, with the manufacture of electric motors; from 1947 it also produced alternators. Besides products, on-site and workshop repairs, spare parts logistics, predictive maintenance and training are available.

For gear motors, the range is divided by gear type: Compabloc has helical gearing with axial output, Multibloc and Minibloc have worm-wheel gearing with right-angle output, Manubloc and Poulibloc are helical with parallel output, and Orthobloc is bevel-helical with orthogonal output; Dynabloc denotes geared servo motors. AC drives are grouped into general-purpose, specialised, high-performance, high-power and servo drives.

What do we supply from the Leroy Somer range?

ProductDescription
FLSHRM/LSHRM/PLSHRM Synchronous MotorsSynchronous motors from the manufacturer's range, for industrial drives; in the manufacturer's German-language menu, the family appears as synchronous reluctance and permanent magnet motors.
Induction Motors and Brake MotorsThree-phase induction motors for standard and advanced applications, ATEX motors for gas and dust, smoke extraction motors, single-phase motors and motors with integrated drive. Brake motors are grouped in the FCPL, FCR, FFB and FMD families.
Unimotor hd and Dynabloc Servo MotorsUnimotor hd servo motors for precision drives, and Dynabloc geared servo motors.
Compabloc/Multibloc/Orthobloc Gear MotorsA family of gear motors with helical, worm-wheel or bevel-helical configurations, for driving conveyor belts, mixers and production machinery.
Mentor MP / Digistart Drives and StartersMentor MP DC drive and Digistart D4/D5 electronic starters, for controlling the starting and speed of industrial motors of various power ratings.

How do we supply Leroy Somer in Romania?

For Leroy-Somer, the information about the range comes from the manufacturer's public materials, with no visibility of our own into the factory's inventory. Motors and gear motors are sourced to order through EU supply channels, usually within 1–4 weeks, depending on configuration. For a quotation we need the motor power, the speed, the mounting type and, where applicable, the desired gearbox or drive series. We check availability on each request.

Advanced configuration of Leroy-Somer drives for special applications requires a direct technical check with the manufacturer, which is carried out by the manufacturer itself.

Frequently asked questions about Leroy Somer

What does Leroy-Somer make?

Leroy-Somer makes induction and synchronous electric motors, gear motors, servo motors and AC and DC drives, used in production, lifting, HVAC and the food industry.

How do I choose a Leroy-Somer gear motor for a conveyor belt?

The choice depends on the motor power, the output speed and the mounting type required; the Compabloc family covers axial outputs, and Orthobloc covers orthogonal bevel-helical ones, but the final configuration is confirmed with the installation data.

How do I choose a motor from the Leroy-Somer FLSHRM series?

The electrical and mechanical parameters of high-efficiency synchronous motors differ by series, so we check the exact project specifications together.

Do you supply Leroy-Somer motors in Romania?

Leroy-Somer motors arrive to order through the European supply chain, usually within 1–4 weeks, depending on the model and on the factory's confirmation.

How do I request a Leroy Somer quotation?
