Are you at the stage of considering a DC motor for your project? If so, there are a number of direct benefits and characteristics worth exploring, below are just a handful of the key advantages. For more information or advice, our specialists are on hand to help you choose the right motor for the right project.
DC, or direct current, is where the current will only flow in one direction. One of the key reasons they are chosen over other types of motors is their precision. At Rotalink, we stock a wide range of DC motors and Gearmotors for you to choose from, as well as a wide range of other motor types, so whatever your needs we have you covered.
Below are just some of the advantages you will typically find with choosing a DC motor for your project:
When it comes to speed control, DC motors are a fantastic option. DC allows for a wide adjustment to speed while also allowing for fantastic levels of precision. Their highly controllable characteristics makes DC ideal for many industrial projects.
If you are looking for a motor that can provide fantastic levels of torque, DC could be the way to go. DC motors can have a high level of starting torque, which means the motors are perfect for industrial usage especially in situations that deal with heavier loads.
Situations where high torque may be required include conveyors or equipment dealing with heavy materials. DC motors are able to deliver a steady and reliable level of power meaning a DC motor is perfect for applications where consistent torque is needed.
In many applications it is essential that the motor can swiftly stop and start. A DC motor allows for the ability to quickly and efficiently start, accelerate and stop, as well as being able to change direction.
Harmonic frequencies come as the result of actions by non-linear loads, which can include discharge lighting and rectifiers. In an electrically powered system, harmonics can cause issues to power quality, which can then result in torque pulsations in motors; however, DC motors are free of the issues that come with harmonics making them ideal for industrial scenarios.
