In the industrial sector, parallel shaft AC gear motors have long been the standard. However, right-angle brushless gear motors are becoming increasingly popular due to their ability to reduce the overall footprint of machinery, such as conveyor systems.
Another important consideration is the type of gears used in the gearhead. Worm gear technology is widely used, but its efficiency can vary between 50% and 90%, depending on the gear ratio. In contrast, hypoid gear technology maintains a higher efficiency range of 80% to 95%, regardless of the gear ratio. This improved efficiency allows for more torque transfer from the motor to the load, and in some cases, even smaller motors can be used without compromising performance.
An example of an ideal application is shown below, where a parallel shaft gear motor is installed on the side of a belt conveyor. Notice how the motor and gearhead extend beyond the conveyor, increasing the machine's footprint and potentially creating safety hazards. Additionally, extra components like couplings and mounting plates are often required for installation.
**CHALLENGE: Improve efficiency & minimize equipment footprint**
Conventional Equipment: An AC induction motor is typically mounted on the conveyor with a parallel shaft gearhead and a coupling mechanism. A variable frequency drive (VFD) is usually used for speed control.
**Problems with Conventional Equipment:**
- The motor and transfer mechanism protrude from the conveyor, taking up unnecessary space and making it difficult to add more conveyors side by side.
- Excessive parts and labor hours are needed for installation.
- Parallel shaft gear motors often use helical or spur gears, which are less efficient at transferring torque compared to hypoid gears.
**SOLUTION: BMU Series brushless motor + JH gearhead + AC input driver**
Using a compact and high-power right-angle hypoid motor reduces the motor’s protrusion on the conveyor. The efficient JH-type gearhead also simplifies installation, requiring fewer parts and offering face mount or torque arm options. Since both brushless motors and JH gearheads are more efficient than traditional AC motors and parallel shaft gearheads, they allow for smaller motor sizes and reduced power consumption. To make it easier to replace AC motors and VFDs, we offer compatible solutions for our brushless motors. The easy-to-install BMU series also increases operational efficiency by reducing labor hours.
