Application Design Considerations:
Before selecting a motor for your application, consider your requirements first using below criteria as guide. Deciding on these factors will allow your technical support engineer to find the right motor for you.
- Size (form & fit) – allowable space to fit the motor
- Purpose / Application
- Output Requirements – constant or variable load, constant or variable speed, shaft/driving system (with gear, belt drive, impeller or fan, etc.), starting and stall conditions, clockwise or counter-clockwise rotation
- Power Source – AC, DC or other waveforms
- Environmental Condition – operating temperature, humidity, dusty/sandy/salty environment, vibration (such as installed in a moving vehicle), audible noise considerations, EMC, safety and other protections required, electrical noise
- Operating Conditions – continuous or intermittent, expected life of the application
