Hi everyone,

While moving some old equipment in a warehouse, I came across this vintage Siemens-Schuckert Werke R161g/1000 electric motor (ID plate photo attached). Unfortunately, I couldn’t find much information about this specific model online.
My main concern is estimating the weight of the motor so I can plan proper handling and storage.
I did find a video of what seems to be a very similar motor , but it’s in Polish. From what I could gather, it might weigh at least 400 kg.
Any information regarding technical specifications or catalog data would be of great assistance.

Thanks in advance.

Is it not possible to weigh it? A local freight handler might have a truck scale to offer.
