Blowers for Extreme Environments

Detrimental environmental conditions abound in industrial and even commercial-grade blower environments. The top three environmental challenges to blowers are: • Pollutants such as dust, dirt, and fumes associated with the process at hand • Excessive ambient heat and winding-generated heat that accumulates in tight design spaces • Moisture and condensation associated with temperature differentials

Customization to Suppress EMI in DC Motors

A variety of active and passive approaches can be adopted to reduce EMI in systems that rely on precision motion control. For applications ranging from medical diagnostic to office automation equipment, the need to suppress conducted and radiated noise is critical, especially in light of increasingly stringent electromagnetic compatibility (EMC) requirements. The challenges are to maintain system integrity and DC motor performance without adding significant cost or weight to a sub assembly.

Empowering Proper Selection of Motor Technology

While there is no shortage of available electric motor technologies, an initial narrowing of the field for electronics industry applications will often direct attention to several types: permanent magnet (PM) brush-commutated DC servo motors, brushless DC servo motors, and hybrid stepper motors. Insights into how each type generally compares with the others can help lighten the evaluation burden and ultimately contribute to proper selection for an application.

Select the Right Blower by Understanding Air Flow

You can select the right brushless blower and optimize efficiency for your particular application by first learning the laws determining efficient airflow in your system. These laws will help you to quickly find your ideal operating point, maximize your blower performance and help ensure safe operation. By considering these and other factors you can better ensure your standard or custom model is suited to your performance curves, application and working environment.

Subsystems for Blower Installations

Blowers and fans are key to an array of industries, and their installations are as disparate as their uses. Because engineers integrating blowers into designs are increasingly busy and pressed for specialized expertise in air-moving technologies, blower manufacturers (as a lot of suppliers) have come to offer increased engineering support and upfront integration.

Turning to Integrated Driver Electronics for BLDCs

Brushless DC motors (BLDCs) achieve commutation electronically by utilizing a permanent-magnet rotor, wound stator, and rotor-position sensing scheme instead of a mechanical commutator or brushes found in brush-type DC motor designs.
