Submersible Motors; 6” 8” 10” – 5.5 to 185 kW

M Series

Sterling Pumps produce the M series range of quality submersible motors which offer a wide and versatile range of high efficiency and reliable operation in adverse conditions. Our submersible motors are water lubricated, are rewindable and feature Silicon Carbide mechanical seals as standard for durability and abrasive resistance offering longer in service life.

The M series motors are successfully installed and operated around the world in agricultural applications, such as crop irrigation, centre pivot supply, cattle watering and other more severe applications including mine dewatering, mineral processing, fire duty, offshore platform seawater lift, inline municipal boosting, water transfer, construction dewatering, breweries and other industrial processing.
