Exploring the complexities of motor selection for custom machines in consumer-packaged goods manufacturing.
There are trade-offs between brushed and brushless motors, considering factors such as maintenance, efficiency and upfront costs, Control Design writes.
For automation engineers, the evolving landscape of motor technology, including the rise of brushless dc motors, presents both opportunities and challenges. Brushless motors offer advantages in performance, efficiency and service life, making them a compelling choice for applications where improved performance is critical.
However, the higher initial investment of brushless motors must be weighed against the potential long-term benefits, including reduced downtime and maintenance costs. Automation engineers must navigate these considerations to optimize motor selection for specific applications, balancing performance requirements with budget constraints and long-term operational efficiency.
