Speed Control Applications
Speed control applications require motors that can maintain a constant speed or operate at preset speeds. While inverter-driven AC motors are widely used, brushless DC motors offer advantages such as a compact footprint, higher efficiency, lower operating temperatures, and closed-loop speed regulation. Common applications include variable-speed conveyors for material transport and mixers that require precise agitation at specific speeds.
Case Studies
Product Selection by Application
Material Conveyor
Brushless motors are the primary choice for high performance conveyors that move materials, products, and goods efficiently.
Grip Conveyor
Accurate speed regulation and synchronization of multiple axes are critical factors in applications such as grip conveyors for labeling.
Medical Conveyor
Transporting sample vials quickly and precisely is critical in advancing medical diagnostics systems.
Peristaltic Pump
Delivering an accurate amount of fluid is crucial in various types of infusion pumps.
Capping
For applications such as pressure sensitive stamping, pressing, capping or screwing mechanisms, a torque limit function can be useful.
Agitator
When liquid viscosity changes during mixing, precise control of speed and torque is crucial in producing consistent final products.
Food Cutting
Food cutters and processors require high torque and ingress protection while maintaining a compact footprint and cost-effectiveness.
