Brushless DC (BLDC) Motors | Refrigeration systems, automotive, drones | IE4 efficiency (≥85% at rated load) ▲10% over industry standard (IE3: 80%) Brushless commutation (no mechanical wear) | High energy efficiency, low maintenance, long lifespan Designed For: Ideal for refrigeration systems needing quiet, reliable operation | Higher initial cost, requires electronic control systems |
Brushed DC Motors | Low-cost appliances, simple machinery | IE1 efficiency (50-60% at rated load) Commutator and brushes for simplicity | Lower cost, simpler design, easier to control Designed For: Budget-friendly applications like basic pumps or fans | Higher maintenance (brush wear), shorter lifespan, less efficient |
Stepper Motors | Printers, robotics, precision equipment | Step-by-step rotation (1.8° steps) Open-loop control for cost savings | Precise positioning without feedback, reliable for repetitive tasks Designed For: 3D printers or CNC machines needing accuracy | Limited torque at high speeds, power consumption increases with speed |
Servo Motors | Industrial automation, robotics | Closed-loop control with encoders High torque and speed variability | High precision, dynamic response, adaptable to varying loads Designed For: Industrial robots or automated assembly lines | Complex and expensive, requires feedback systems, maintenance-intensive |
AC Motors | Industrial pumps, HVAC systems | AC power compatibility IE2 efficiency (70-80% at rated load) | Robust, reliable operation, suitable for high-power applications Designed For: Large-scale HVAC or conveyor systems | Lower efficiency than BLDC, larger size, less energy-efficient |
Linear Motors | High-speed manufacturing, semiconductor | Direct linear motion (no gears) High acceleration (up to 100 m/s²) | High speed and accuracy, compact design for linear applications Designed For: Semiconductor manufacturing or precision cutting | High cost, complex installation, limited to specific applications |
