Did you choose the right motor?

Motors are widely used to many industries, but how to choose the right motor for your project?

First, select the motor type according to the motor installation location. Such as the petrochemical industry, flammable and explosive areas should choose explosion-proof motor, other occasions can use the open-motor, dust, water droplets splash should be used where enclosed motors.

Second,Determine the motor power based on load usage. The power of the motor should generally be 1.1 to 1.5 times the mechanical power. If the power selection is too large, not only increase investment, but also reduce the mechanical efficiency, increase production costs. If the power selection is too small, the motor long-term bear too much load, the temperature will rise too high to damage the insulation, shorten the motor life.

Third, According to the working speed requirements of the machine and the choice of motor drive reducer. Speed matching principle is to make the motor and the production machinery are running at rated speed, transmission the same way.
