Durable, Sturdy, Reliable: EC Motors, the Ideal Vehicle Actuators

From ebm-papst Inc.

In modern vehicles more and more processes are being controlled by electronics. This sector ac-counts for approx. 30 % of the development expenditure. As in automation, the trend in the auto-mobile industry is towards on-site intelligence that is underlined today by decentralized control de-vices for brake assistants, motor management, air conditioning, chassis stabilization etc. However, this concept can only be implemented when the actuator is located directly on site. V-belt transmis-sion and hydraulic control are antiquated means, modern electronically commutated (EC) DC mo-tors offer completely new possibilities as actuators in vehicles.
