How iron losses influence BLDC motor selection

8th November 2022

When designing a miniature brushless DC (BLDC) motor, ensuring a compact footprint with sufficient thermal regulation is vital. This means it’s essential that the design minimises iron losses, a crucial factor that also limits a motor’s output. To specify a motor optimised for an application’s speed and torque requirements, it’s vital that the motor manufacturer works closely with the OEM, evaluating the implications of iron losses in order to create a design that limits their impact.

Maintaining gearbox centre distance minimises acoustic noise in micro motion applications

25th October 2022

Simulation shows that the problem of acoustic noise in micro motion gearbox design can be reduced by removing transmission error. Optimised gearbox design ensuring close manufacturing tolerances can achieve this. As wider factors surrounding gearbox integration can also impact noise levels, it’s useful to partner with a motion solution manufacturer that takes a holistic approach to application design.
