DC Motors - Brushed DC Motors, Brushless DC Motors and Low Voltage DC Motors

DC Motors can vary to include Permanent Magnet, Shunt Wound, Brushed, Brushless and Low Voltage. Stocks held - Leroy Somer, Bull and Technodrives DC Motors.

A large modern DC Electric motor when used with a digital DC motor controller offers high performance suitable for use with extruders, paper and printing industries, passenger lifts and drives requiring high transient loading such as metal presses etc.

Variable speed DC Motors are capable of high performance at low speeds and are suitable for coiler and winder operations which are sometimes required to maintain tension at standstill, with shunt wound DC Motor starting characteristics being excellent from zero speed.

Extruder applications which require high torque are a common use for DC Motors and offer a cost effective solution on larger sizes compared to AC Inverter drives. Digital DC motor controllers can be 98&percent; efficient, an important point in an ever increasing green world, offer a simple control design with low cost options of dynamic and four quadrant regenerative braking systems. DC motor speed controllers also benefit from high reliability and low maintenance and have lower power line harmonics without the use of expensive chokes.

Other uses for the small DC Motors are: - mobile, medical, textile applications and robotics.

A growing area for DC motors is the use of low voltage motors for battery powered application often used in mobile applications using 12,24,36,48 volt configurations both on land or water. Our Technodrives range of DC Electric Motors is available in both low and standard voltages and can easily connected to gearbox to make a geared DC motor unit. We welcome your enquiries for low voltage DC Motors and geared DC Motor units that are available on short lead times with specials available in small batch quantities.

DC Motors from Leroy Somer, Technodrives, Baldor, Brook Crompton and Siemens are available with many options including DC Tachogenerators or Encoders (Transdrive are Radio Energies Sole UK Distributor for Tachos and Encoders) Force vent Units and Brakes.
