Micro Motor Series
Micro motors are the basic components of robotic devices. These devices perform a variety of tasks and functions. Among these types are Piezoelectric flextensional micro motors, Brushless DC micro motors, and Hsiang Neng DC Micro Motor Manufacturing Corporation. To understand their functions, it is helpful to know the difference between these types.
Piezoelectric flextensional micro-motors
Piezoelectric flextensional micromotors are standing-wave type motors that operate with a single-phase electrical supply. They function by converting vibrations of a PZT plate into rotational movement of a rotor. The rotor is surrounded by elastic fins that bend with the displacement of the vibrator.
This type of micro-motor can be as small as a millimeter in size, but is capable of delivering up to 1000 times the force needed to move an object. It also does not require any lubrication or maintenance, and can last for many billion cycles. They are often used in microfluidics and nanopositioning tables.
Piezoelectric micro-motors have several advantages over electromagnetic actuators and solenoids. They can be manufactured using stock materials, with prototype processes that incorporate electrode plating, electric poling, and bonding. The technology can be used in various applications and is expected to lead to commercial applications for micro-motors.
A multiple composite piezoelectric motor can achieve a maximum rotational speed of 600 rpm at a maximum driving voltage of 180 V-p-. Its maximum loading capacity is approximately two and a half times the maximum rotational speed, and it has a resonant frequency of 37.8 kHz. The frequency range of a multiple composite piezoelectric motor is between 60-100 dB. Noise level is higher before 20 kHz.
This research has produced two prototype motors that were developed to produce a high-speed thrust force. Their traction force was 4.25 N with an 8 N preload. The prototype motor's minimal resolution was 1.14 inch/mm at 74 Hz and 50 Vp-p.
Brushless DC micro motors
Brushless DC micro motors are an alternative to traditional electric motors. They are smaller and quieter than their counterparts and can be used for many different types of applications. They are also designed for long-term reliability and energy efficiency. Their vibration alerts and low inertia make them highly effective in applications requiring precision control. Furthermore, they require a small amount of power, making them ideal for battery-operated devices.
These motors are suited for industrial automation, with a wide range of applications. For example, they are used in robotic systems and automated assembly lines to control the movement of small parts. Their reversible design makes them suitable for a variety of applications, such as turntables and conveyors.
Brushless motors are a better alternative than traditional brushed motors, which suffer from significant torque ripples. Brushless motors are designed to transition the current more smoothly from one winding to another, eliminating the problems associated with hard-switched motors. Furthermore, they require no airflow to cool, which makes them more efficient.
Brushless DC motors are used in many applications. In addition to their use in air freshening systems, they are also used in computer heat dissipation. They are also popular in high-grade electric toys, fitness equipment, and medical equipment. They can even be used in the low-pressure drive of vehicles and other machinery.
Hsiang Neng DC Micro Motor Manufacturing Corporation
The Hsiang Neng DC Micro Motor Manufacturing corporation was established in 1987. This company specializes in the production of DC motors for automotive, marine and other applications. Its products include DC geared motor, DC planetary geared motor, DC micro motor, and DC mini motor. The company also produces semi-auto parts. The company uses strict quality control methods during the entire manufacturing process.
DC micro motors are increasingly being used for medical applications. The miniaturization of these components makes them the perfect solution for demanding positioning tasks. One example of such application is the distribution of medical samples. Other medical applications include inner-tube valves and head-mounted vision systems. DC micro motors are also being used to develop cutting-edge surgical tools.
