Frameless Brushless DC Motors
Frameless Brushless DC Motors refers to rotor and stator sets supplied without a complete conventional frame for integration into an assembly. Electromagnetic design, excitation and drive control convert electrical energy into motion; the load and cooling arrangement determine usable output.
Product & engineering
Understand the product.
Brushless DC electric motor (BLDC motors, BL motors) also known as electronically commutated motors (ECMs, EC motors), or synchronous DC motors, are synchronous motors powered by DC electricity via an inverter or switching power supply which produces an AC electric current to drive each phase of the motor via a closed loop controller. The controller provides pulses of current to the motor windings that control the speed and torque of the motor.
For example, in components space and weight are a prime concern, with standard solutions coming up against their limits. For this reason, motor is offering its brushless motors as frameless motor kits. Rotors and stators are delivered separately – without bearings or motorshaft – and connected only when the components are assembled. In this way, customers achieve the best of both worlds: high torque density and minimum volume.
For this subject, the supplied object is rotor and stator sets supplied without a complete conventional frame for integration into an assembly. Match the torque-speed or force-speed envelope to the full load cycle, inertia and available cooling. Stepper holding torque does not describe high-speed torque; a servo label does not guarantee positioning without the feedback and mechanics. Explosion-proof claims require the exact certified motor, installation and duty rather than a rugged-looking housing.
What turns activity into demand
Qualified machine builds and replacement cycles create demand at the required drive compatibility and thermal duty.
The commercial boundary
Separate motor, geared motor, integrated drive and subsystem; power, torque and unit count are different reporting bases.
Why does a rated motor fail to deliver the required motion?
