2.5 kW 48V BLDC Motor for AGV

The brushless DC motor is a core element in the Automated Guided Vehicles (AGV) applications. The quality of the electric motor can decide the performance of the AGV. In choosing the electric motor plan, we can choose the brushed motor or the brushless DC  motor. In view of the development trend of AGV, the brushless DC electric motor is more popular.

One of our ATO clients specializes in manufacturing AGV to transport materials for the electronic auxiliary parts. In the very beginning, our client adopted the brushed DC motor. After a period of time, it found that the brushed DC motor had a short life span and required maintenance after a period of time. The most troublesome was to change the carbon brush. Therefore, our client replaced the brushed DC motor with the brushless DC motor. However, their brushless DC motor was costly and usually failed to meet the special development demands. The client, after seeing our BLDC motor on ATO BLDCmotor.org, tried to contact us. Our engineer customized a 2.5 kW 48V brushless DC motor and the corresponding decelerator for the client. According to AGV's performance requirement, a special controller was chosen for the brushless DC motor.

The client reported that our solution plan was much better than the ordinary brushless DC motors. Our brushless DC motor has a longer service life and can satisfy the client's requirement of frequent design alteration. In this case, we realized one-by-one customized service. Meanwhile, the client's manufacturing cost was successfully brought down by 30% with the delivery cycle shortening from one month to 15 days. On the whole, the client was satisfied with ATO service.
 
Below are the performance tests conducted by the client as to the brushless DC motor provided by us and by other brand owners.

1. Side braking
When the brushless DC electric motor provided by the other brand owner was used, the braking distance was 0.2m under the emergent braking. After using our brushless DC electric motor, the report reported that the braking distance was reduced to 0.08m, cutting the probability of side braking by 60%. 

2. Speed regulation period
After the ATO brushless DC electric motor was used, the speed adjustment cycle of the two electric motors changed from three rotations to one rotation during DC operation.

3. Steady start
The ATO brushless DC electric motor ensured smooth and steady stop without any pauses. The client erected one coin on the trolley. When the motor was started and stopped, the coin did not fall down. 

4. High-voltage impact
When there was no electrification to push forward the trolley, the power generated would cause high-voltage impact on the driver. On the contrary, our brushless DC electric motor took this concern into consideration while selecting the controller for the client, and our solution plan could fully eliminate high-voltage impact.
