In the realm of electric motors, achieving quieter operation has become a crucial objective. ECM’s PCB Stator technology is leading the charge, setting new benchmarks for noise reduction across various applications.
Remarkable Results
In a recent collaboration with a prominent consumer appliance manufacturer, ECM redesigned a blender to incorporate our advanced electric motor. Extensive testing revealed that the ECM motor achieved an impressive reduction of over 20 decibels compared to the legacy model and competing alternatives. Accelerometers were strategically placed, and an optical tachometer monitored RPM, providing comprehensive insights into the motor’s performance.
In another instance, a well-known garbage disposal company integrated an ECM electric motor into their product. This redesign not only reduced the overall size of the disposal unit but also delivered a striking 27 decibel decrease in noise levels compared to conventional motors.
As seen in our latest video, another blender application tested at over 29 decibels quieter!
PCB Stator Technology: The Game Changer
The key to ECM’s success lies in our innovative PCB Stator design. By eliminating the iron core and traditional windings, our motors encapsulate coils within a composite structure. This design minimizes mechanical disturbances, effectively dampening acoustic noise and enhancing reliability. The result is a quieter, more efficient motor that can be seamlessly integrated into various devices.
Enhanced Performance and Reduced EMI
ECM motors also excel in minimizing electromagnetic interference (EMI). Thanks to their harmonious design, PCB Stator machines emit significantly lower EMI levels compared to conventional motors. By preventing harmonics from exciting mechanical modes, our technology ensures a cleaner operating environment—essential for precision applications that require high fidelity.
