What are the application fields of hollow cup motors?

What are the application fields of hollow cup motors? Hollow cup motors have extremely high energy conversion efficiency, with a maximum efficiency generally exceeding 70%, and some products reaching over 90% (compared to around 70% for iron-core geared motors). They offer fast start and stop speeds with an extremely quick response, with a mechanical time constant of less than 28 milliseconds, and some products achieving under 10 milliseconds (compared to over 100 milliseconds for iron-core geared motors). At high speeds within the recommended operating range, the speed can be adjusted easily and sensitively. As a micro geared motor, its speed fluctuation can be controlled within 2%.

Additionally, the energy density of hollow cup motors is significantly improved, with their weight and volume reduced by 1/3 to 1/2 compared to iron-core geared motors of the same power. To help users better understand hollow cup geared motors, WKX Motor will now discuss their primary application fields in detail.

Application Field 1: Electronic Digital or Office Computer Peripheral Devices

Within the application range of hollow cup geared motors, office computers, peripheral devices, and electronic digital products represent the largest application areas, especially in daily life. Examples include movie cameras, fax machines, printers, copiers, and drives.

Application Field 2: Industrial Control Sector

With the large-scale production and research and development of WKX hollow cup motors, the technology has matured. The drive systems it produces are increasingly widely used in industrial production, even serving as mainstream engines for industrial electricity. To reduce costs and improve operational efficiency in the industry, major manufacturers need to provide different types of motors to meet the demands of various systems. As a result, the involvement of hollow cup geared motors in the industry is growing, now extending to sectors such as printing, metallurgy, automated production lines, textiles, and CNC machine tools.

Application Field 3: Testing Equipment Sector

As is well known, conducting experiments requires a large number of testing devices, many of which incorporate hollow cup motors. This is because the equipment used in laboratories demands high standards for motors, requiring not only good controllability but also high precision—such as in mixers and centrifuges. Devices made with hollow cup geared motors offer stable operation, flexible installation and removal, and low noise, making their application in experimental fields increasingly widespread.

Application Field 4: Household Appliances and Related Areas

In daily life, we use many household appliances, such as inverter refrigerators and inverter air conditioners. The superior performance of brushless hollow cup motors is the main reason behind the widespread use of these common inverter devices. The variable frequency technology they employ essentially represents a transition in household geared motors from induction geared motors to brushless geared motors and controllers, meeting requirements for high comfort, intelligence, low noise, and energy efficiency.

Application Field 5: Precision Instruments Requiring Rapid Response

Due to the hollow cup motor overcoming the limitations of slow iron-core speed regulation, it offers extremely high sensitivity in speed adjustment and startup. In the military field, it can shorten the response time of high-magnification optical drives, improving missile hit rates. In scientific research, it enables various data collection instruments to achieve automatic rapid focusing, high-sensitivity recording, and analysis capabilities that were previously unavailable.

Application Field 6: Various Aerospace Vehicles

By eliminating the weight and design space constraints imposed by iron cores, hollow cup motors not only occupy less space but can also be structurally fine-tuned according to the requirements of various aerospace vehicles. From military precision drone motors to common aerospace model generators in daily life, hollow cup motors are widely visible.

Application Field 7: Precision Instruments Requiring Ease of Use

Thanks to the high energy conversion rate, small size, light weight, and strong endurance of hollow cup geared motors, they are highly suitable for precision instruments that need to be convenient to use, such as metal detectors, personal navigation devices, and engineering instruments for fieldwork.
