What are the motor types and selection criteria?

There are fast, precise, continuous, shifting or non shifting types of sports, most of which are driven by motors, and different types of sports have suitable motor types. These motor types include single-phase or three-phase AC series excited motors, permanent magnet DC brushed motors, brushless DC motors (BLDC) with electronic commutation, and gearbox motors (AC/DC/BLDC motors combined with gearboxes). Three steps for motor selection: firstly, determine the most suitable motor type based on different movements; Secondly, after selecting the type of motor, it is necessary to determine the technical specifications and dimensions of the motor; Thirdly, determine the type of motor based on the energy regulations of the region or country where it is located.

1. Determine the most suitable motor type based on different movements:

For applications that operate continuously and rarely shift gears, AC series motors are a better choice.

For discontinuous dynamic applications, brushed DC motors or brushless DC motors are ideal choices.

For low-speed and high load applications, it is inevitable to choose a gearbox motor, namely: AC series motor/DC motor+gearbox with specific reduction ratio.

For applications that require stepless speed regulation, brushless DC motors are the best choice.

For applications that require precise positioning, stepper motors are a better choice.

2. After selecting the type of motor, it is necessary to determine the technical specifications and dimensions of the motor:

To determine the technical specifications, it is necessary to first determine the power, torque, and speed of the motor.

In order to determine the size, you must know the volume of the motor and how to install it (how to fix it in the system?).

When choosing the size and durability of a motor, it is also necessary to consider the industrial environment in which the motor operates: each environment (explosion, humidity, corrosion, high and low temperatures, etc.) has different designs.

For harsh environments, it is necessary to add waterproof, dustproof, and shockproof enclosures to the motor.

3. Consider the specific energy regulations of the region or country to determine the type of motor:

The higher the energy utilization efficiency of the motor, the more energy-efficient the corresponding product, which can help customers enhance their product's competitive advantage in the market.
