 The route to net zero: How motors and drives support carbon neutrality

The route to net zero: How motors and drives support carbon neutrality

08/01/2024

Manufacturers and end users of motors and drives need to get on board with ambitious zero-emission targets pledged by governments around the world. However, it’s estimated that nearly half of the world’s energy is consumed by electric motors. Here, Marek Lukaszczyk, European and Middle East Marketing Manager of WEG, explains why choosing the right motors and drives can be integral to environmental compliance and driving plant efficiency.

Why are e-bike manufacturers turning to components manufactured by edge winding, to solve e-bike design challenges? Simon Ward, Technical Manager of TFC, explains.

 Starting early: The advantage of involving miniature motion design at the outset of OEM projects

Starting early: The advantage of involving miniature motion design at the outset of OEM projects

Miniature electric motors, their transmissions, feedback and control devices are crucial to equipment that depends on motion control. This means that OEMs starting a new product development project should involve a motion specialist at the earliest opportunity. The motor and its output have a broad impact on the overall design, so early-stage inclusion will not only optimise the performance of the host equipment, but it will also streamline project development.

Brushless DC motors: The easy and effective answer

Brushless DC motors: The easy and effective answer

For some time, induction motors were ubiquitous in industry, used across multiple markets for conveyors, mixers, and packaging systems. When Panasonic withdrew from the induction market, engineers lost access to a supply of tried and tested motor technology. There is, however, an upside to this gap: developers now have the opportunity to upgrade to brushless DC (BLDC) motors with minimal disruption and financial outlay.
