Oriental Motor Unveils 750 W Brushless Motors and Gear Motors
Oriental Motor USA is pleased to announce the launch of its new 750 W (1 HP) Brushless Motors and Gear Motors, optimized for use with inverters and variable frequency drives (VFDs). Engineered to meet the growing demand for high-efficiency motion control solutions, these compact brushless motors deliver IE5-class efficiency, offering a significantly more efficient, smaller, and lighter alternative to traditional IE3 three-phase AC induction motors.
These motors are ideal for a wide range of industrial applications and are compatible with leading inverter/VFD manufacturers, including ABB, Fuji, Inovance, Lenze, Mitsubishi, Rockwell, Siemens, and Toshiba. For specific performance details, please refer to the datasheets available under the “Performance with Inverters/VFDs” tab on our website.
Key features:
First 750 W (1 HP) Brushless Model – Enables smaller, lighter, and more energy-efficient equipment designs compared to traditional induction motors.
Combination models available with parallel shaft or hollow shaft flat gearheads
Round shaft motors, pinion shaft motors, gearheads, and motor-to-VFD cable (CC005BYFF) sold separately
Currently available with a forward-facing cable option
The 750 W (1 HP) Brushless DC (BLDC) Motor is designed to be compact yet powerful. With tested compatibility with a variety of popular VFDs, it can easily replace much larger AC induction motors in machine designs that aim to reduce footprint while improving efficiency and lowering power consumption at the same time. This is great news for a variety of continuous-duty variable-speed applications that require consistent speeds even under varying loads, such as conveyors, blowers, agitators/mixers, and pumps.
Motor Efficiency Comparison
The 750 W (1 HP) Brushless DC Motor satisfies the highest efficiency rating in its class.
With higher efficiency, it means we can use less material to generate the same power. The high efficiency comes with many benefits. This means a brushless DC motor can be designed smaller and lighter than an equivalent AC induction motor. The higher efficiency also reduces power consumption for the brushless DC motor. Since we don't have to cool the brushless DC motor with a built-in fan like typical AC induction motors, the length of a brushless DC motor can be much shorter.
For machine designers who do not need closed-loop speed regulation, extra space, or higher efficiency, using an AC induction motor with a VFD may be sufficient. However, for machine designers looking to upgrade their performance or make their machines more compact, brushless DC motors are the ideal choice. With compatibility with various popular VFDs, the 750 W (1 HP) Brushless DC Motor makes it easy to upgrade your motor performance without having to replace your VFD.
Oriental Motor's 750 W (1 HP) Brushless DC Motor is available in a round shaft, parallel shaft gearhead, or hollow shaft gearhead types with gear ratios from 5:1 to 50:1. Performance data, such as speed-torque curves, are available with popular VFD brands: ABB, Fuji, Mitsubishi, Rockwell, Siemens, Lenze, Toshiba, and Inovance. The motor is also fanless (less noise) and is rated for IP66.
