Lehner or Neu

[Flying Scotsman]

If money was no option what motor would you choose and why? I still find it intersting that Europeans choose Lehner and North Americans Neu for quality motors. I am strictly talking about quality and performance, not warrany issues, distributors etc.

I have both...
I did not use my lehners yet, one is a 3060 honker and the other is a 1920,
the 3060 will go in a big cat and the 1920 is a N2 SAW motor...
I believe that they both (Lehner & NEU) have a niche as far as applications go,
but since you are asking which one I'd use, I wanna say NEU because I can
have same RPM, with more torque and in some cases (if not all) better efficiency.

Are the Lehner's 2-pole or 4???

[Flying Scotsman]

Great question. The poles are important in what you are trying to achieve.

2 poles

[Mel279]

I have a Lehner 1950/6 Hi-Amp, is it a 2 poles also?

[Ub Hauled]

yup... I believe all Lehners are 2 poles.

Here is the link that confirms that:

it's in German but look at the second bullet point and you'll understand the "2 pol" part of it.
this goes fro the 15,19 and 22 series... makes me wonder about the 30.

[Mel279]

hey thanks Ub Hauled for the info.

[Eyekandyboats]

i like lehners better but thats my opinion.

[Flying Scotsman]

Now, what would you choose and why? Jan you are excussed. Taylor this question was prior to your response :smile

30 series are 2 pole as well...

I run both Lehner 3060 and Neu 2215 in big cats and personally prefer the Neu's... The Neu's are cheaper, made in USA, have more torque, and power to weight ratio is much better.. JMO

Should be getting a Neu 2230/1Y anyday.. I have been VERY pleased with the 2215's,, I cant wait to see what this BEAST will do!!

[Flying Scotsman]

Interesting but why do the Europeans run Lehner? Remember cost does not enter into the equation or other values

Keeping it in the family.

John, not true Europeans love to take a shot or champion at each others national prowess
