Begin with the subject closest to the decision you need to make. Move over a card to see the practical engineering value, then continue to the detailed evidence below.
Established robust technology for fixed- or variable-speed industrial duties.
Brushed DC technology provides straightforward speed control and strong starting torque.
Electronic commutation supports efficiency, controllability and long service life.
Integrated electronics can simplify installation and provide efficient variable-speed control.
Motion-control systems selected around response, accuracy, repeatability and holding requirements.
Gearboxes, brakes, wheels, transaxles and direct drives reshape the motor requirement.
Engineering note
Technology should follow the application. SDT evaluates the complete technical, operational, production and commercial requirement before recommending a route.
