In this article, Gerard Bush, Motion Specialist at INMOCO, explores the most important considerations in motor selection for battery-powered applications.
The importance of motor efficiency
Motor efficiency is a critical design parameter, especially for battery-powered applications. Efficient motors draw less current, reducing the load on batteries and significantly extending the operating time between charges. This is paramount in industries where downtime can result in substantial financial losses.
Furthermore, motor efficiency is intrinsically linked to sustainability. In an era of soaring energy costs and growing environmental concerns, optimising motor efficiency is both an economic imperative and important for environmental stewardship.
