We are thrilled to unveil the Wellington ECR 2 26W High-Performance Fan Motor, a game-changer for commercial refrigeration systems. This motor is designed to deliver unmatched efficiency, reliability, and versatility, making it our most powerful motor yet. Imagine a motor that not only meets but exceeds your expectations, providing superior performance even in the most demanding conditions.

Key features and benefits


Power and speed: The ECR 2 26W provides more torque and can spin faster than the current ECR 2, while maintaining the same physical dimensions. It can drive large fans slowly or smaller fans quickly, making it highly versatile.

Energy consumption: The variable speed ECR 2 26W motor is the most efficient motor in its class, using approximately one-third of the energy of a typical shaded pole motor. When combined with an SCS controller, it allows for variable speed operation, further reducing power consumption.

Universal voltage: Universal voltage reduces the number of Stock Keeping Units (SKUs) you need to hold by allowing one motor to be used in equipment sold anywhere in the world. This also makes the motor more robust to variations in supply voltage.

Reliability: The ECR 2 26W motor is proven to last for years in harsh environments, with long-life roller bearings, wide operating temperature range, and the highest IP protection of any motor in its class.

Streamlined inventory management and enhanced product offering

With the ECR 2 26W, you can streamline your inventory management. Its universal design means you can reduce the number of different motor models you need, simplifying your manufacturing process and easing inventory management. This motor isn’t just about reducing complexity; it’s about enhancing your product offering. The advanced features and performance of the ECR 2 26W make your product portfolio more attractive to a wide range of applications and customers.

For your customers, the benefits are clear. The high efficiency and variable speed capabilities of the ECR 2 26W translate to significant energy savings, reducing operational costs. Its durable design, featuring firmware overload protection and long-life bearings, minimizes maintenance needs and operational disruptions, ensuring systems run smoothly. The versatility of the ECR 2 26W allows it to drive a wide range of fan sizes and speeds, making it ideal for various refrigeration applications.

Environmental and compliance advantages


Managing fleets of over 100,000 coolers spread across vast regions is challenging. But we knew that if we could solve this challenge, we could significantly accelerate our customers' progress towards achieving Net Zero carbon emissions.

The ECR 2 26W is a champion of environmental sustainability. Its efficient energy use helps reduce carbon emissions, aligning with your sustainability initiatives. With high ingress protection (IP67) and wide voltage tolerance, this motor ensures consistent operation in demanding environments, supporting long-term reliability and compliance with industry standards.

By integrating the ECR 2 26W into your systems, you can offer superior performance, cost savings, and reliability, enhancing both your product offerings and product quality.

Product details and upcoming innovations

The ECR 2 26W is designed to drive evaporator and condenser fans in commercial refrigeration systems, including supermarket displays, bottle coolers, and food service and food retail cabinets. It drives 200mm – 254mm fan blades with a 26 Watt output power (35 Watts input power) and 74% efficiency.

Coming early in 2025, the new ECF2 fan series will use the ECR 2 26W motor. This series is perfect for evaporator and condenser fans in commercial refrigeration systems, including supermarket displays, bottle coolers, ice cream freezers, and food service cabinets.

To summarize, the ECR 2 26W motor offers leading efficiency, reliability, and versatility, making it a valuable addition to your refrigeration systems. It helps reduce energy costs, improve sustainability, and enhance the reliability of your assets, all while simplifying inventory management and reducing manufacturing costs. By choosing the ECR 2 26W, you will be investing in a motor that delivers superior performance and long-term benefits for both you and your customers.
