Our client had meticulously designed a smart meter to allow utility companies to measure and predict demand. Our intelligently designed DC gearmotor works to ensure accurate measurement while also providing essential longevity.
On this project, our client was a leading manufacturer of energy management solutions. Operating for more than 120 years and producing advanced metering systems at the cutting edge of the latest technologies, the client needed a gearmotor that would stand the test of time.
Most people don’t pay much attention to how energy consumption in our homes or businesses is measured; however, accurate metering is vital for both energy providers and consumers. Using our expertise in designing and building DC gearmotors for the smart metering industry, we produced a solution that fit the design of their new product.

Our intelligently designed DC gearmotor ensures accurate measurement while providing essential longevity.
A smart meter is primarily a way for a utility company to measure a home’s energy use and to predict and prepare for spikes in demand. They can also enforce pay-as-you-go supply plans by disconnecting power when a quota, set remotely by the utility company, is reached.
This application requires a specialised planetary motor/gearbox with very low inertia as it is powered by a capacitor, not a battery. It must operate in temperatures as low as -40C and as high as +80C and run for at least 10 years.
