Development status and prospect forecast of Asian brushless motor market

 With the rapid development of information technology, the global supply and demand of brushless motors have shown a straight upward trend. According to data from Grandview Research, Asia’s market share has reached 46.94%, and it will rise further in the future. Forward-looking forecast, Asia’s brushless motors will reach about 13.55 billion US dollars in 2027.

The development status of the brushless motor industry in various regions of the world, Asia leads the world.

From the perspective of market trends, Asia has developed rapidly due to Japan’s leadership; Japan and China are the main countries in the production of brushless motors in Asia. Japan has established brushless motor manufacturers in many regions and countries around the world due to its leading technology. In China, due to the advantages of raw materials and human resources in the past few years, precision motors have begun to develop rapidly. However, due to the late start of China, the technology foundation of brushless motors is generally low, and the Brushless motors are mostly low-end products. However, with the gradual disappearance of China’s advantages in raw materials and human resources, coupled with the introduction of China’s energy-saving motor subsidy policy and technological progress, China’s brushless motor market will gradually expand.

For Europe, due to its early start, many European countries such as Germany and Switzerland have mastered the core technology of brushless motor technology. As the global market demand for high-end brushless motors increases, European brushless motors account for The proportion will maintain or slowly increase.

According to data released by Grandview Research, the Asian market occupies the world’s first place with market size of 46.94%, followed by the United States, accounting for 21.08%.

Development status and prospect forecast of Asian brushless motor market

Taking Japan as an example, Japanese brushless motor manufacturing has obvious advantages in the IT product field and the automotive field. Only a few companies in the world are capable of hard disk spindle motor technology, including NIDEC (Nippon Electric Manufacturing) and PANASONIC. At the same time, Nidec has The technical market share of optical disc drive spindle motors is more than 70%. Axial fan motors are also the strengths of Japanese manufacturers. Minebea Intec, NIDEC, and Sanyo Electric have a combined market share of over 85%. In addition, most of Japan’s precision machining production lines have basically achieved automation and intelligence, and Japan is the most advanced country in industrial robots, and Japan’s precision instruments have obtained a good development platform.

According to data from Grandview Research, the size of the Asian brushless DC motor market has shown an upward trend from 2014 to 2019. In 2019, the size of the Asian brushless DC motor market reached US$7.8 billion. It is predicted that in 2027, the Asian brushless motor will reach 13.55 billion U.S.

 

How to select a suitable stepper motor

1. The choice of stepper motor torque

The holding torque of a stepper motor is similar to the “power” of a traditional motor. But the physical structure of stepping motors is completely different from AC and DC motors, and the output power of the motor is variable base on speed, current, and input voltage.

Generally speaking, if the needed torque is below 0.8N.m, choose nema8(20x20mm), nema11(28x28mm), nema14(35x35mm), nema16(39x39mm), nema17(42x42mm); if the torque is about 1N.m, choose the nema23 stepper motor. When the torque is several N.m or more, it is necessary to choose a stepper motor of nema34, nema42, and other specifications.

2. The choice of stepper motor speed

The output torque of the motor is inversely proportional to the speed.

That is to say, the torque of the stepping motor at low speed(a few hundred rpm) is high, but it is small when the stepper motor runs at high speed (1000 rpm-9000 rpm). For example:

Of course, some working conditions require high-speed motors, and the coil resistance and inductance of the stepping motor must be measured. Choose a motor with a smaller inductance, as a high-speed motor, can obtain a larger output torque. Conversely, when low speed and high torque are required, the inductance and the resistance should be larger.

3. Choose for the use environment of stepper motors

The special stepping motor is waterproof and oil-proof and is used on some special occasions. For special-purpose motors, it is necessary to select targeted ones. Customization is available for special usage.

4. Selection of the number of phases of the stepper motor

Generally, the stepper motor phase is not paid attention to customers. In fact, the more phases there are, the smaller the step angle can be made, and the smaller the vibration during work. In most cases, two-phase motors are chosen. In a high-speed and high-torque working environment, it is more practical to choose a three-phase stepper motor.

5. Special specifications selection according to the actual situation

Special specifications of stepper motors, for example, the diameter, length, lead screw, and direction of the output shaft can be customized.

 

 

 

 

6. Selection of no-load starting frequency of stepper motor

The no-load starting frequency of a stepper motor, usually called “idling frequency”. If it is required to start and stop frequently in an instant, and the speed is about 1000 rpm (or higher), it is usually necessary to “accelerate the start”. If you need to start directly to achieve high-speed operation, it is better to choose a reactive or permanent magnet motor, because the “idling frequency” of these motors is relatively high.

Stepper motors are coming on the China-Europe train!

 The “Dongguan Changping” China-Europe Express is launched!

At 16:30 on November 18, a railway container train with the words “Dongguan Changping” slowly left the Changsheng freight yard, marking the official launch of the China-Europe train with Dongguan Changping as its departure station.

The opening of the “Dongguan Changping” China-Europe Express is an important milestone in the construction of Dongguan’s transportation hub. It will provide more convenient channels for Dongguan manufacturing to “go out” and to “ship in”, and will surely lead Dongguan the high-quality development of foreign trade and economic cooperation.

Witnessed by the participants, the “Dongguan Changping” China-Europe train, which was loaded with electronic products, stepper motors, anti-epidemic supplies, furniture, hardware, and other goods worth more than 3 million US dollars, slowly departed from the Changping departure station and will pass through the Alashan Port. Departing, passing through Kazakhstan, Russia, Belarus, Poland, and other countries, and finally arriving in Duisburg, Hamburg, Germany. It will only take 15days to arrive.
