I. How Does an Integrated Motor Work? (vs. Conventional Motors)
The working principle of an integrated motor is electromagnetically identical to that of conventional motors (such as stepper and servo motors), with the core difference lying in its system architecture.
·Conventional motor systems: Typically composed of separate motors, drives, power supplies, controllers, and feedback components connected via numerous cables. System setup is complex, with more potential connection failure points and larger space requirements.
·Integrated motor systems: Directly embed drives, control circuits, and even encoders into the motor housing or closely integrate them at the rear end. All electrical connections are simplified and centralized at a single interface. It directly receives standard command signals (pulse/direction or bus communication instructions) from upper computers (such as PLCs and industrial computers), and internally completes all real-time drive tasks including current regulation, subdivision control, and closed-loop feedback (if equipped).
Lishui City Hengli Automation Technology Co.,LTD has optimized the integrated motor's structural design to maximize these core advantages:
1.Simplification & reliability: Greatly reduces external wiring and connectors, minimizing risks of wiring errors, poor contact, and electromagnetic interference for a more robust and reliable system.
2.Space & time savings: The compact design saves electrical cabinet space and significantly shortens installation and commissioning time.
3.Plug-and-play convenience: Users do not need to separately select and match motors with drives, simplifying the procurement and integration process.
II. Application Fields of Integrated Motors
With its compact, reliable, and easy-to-use features, integrated motors are widely used in fields requiring high space efficiency, performance, and reliability:
Industrial automation: CNC machine tools, laser cutting/engraving machines, precision feeding mechanisms, labeling machines, packaging machinery, etc.
Robotics: Collaborative robot joints, SCARA robots, drive wheels of Automated Guided Vehicles (AGVs).
Medical equipment: Diagnostic instruments, infusion pumps, ventilators, and motion modules requiring precise positioning in surgical robots.
Smart equipment: 3D printers, vending machines, intelligent access control systems, high-performance pan-tilt heads, etc.
III. Development Prospects of Integrated Motors
Integrated motors represent a key development direction of motion control technology towards modularization, intelligence, and networking. As manufacturing automation upgrades, robot popularization, and smart device miniaturization deepen, the market demand for highly integrated, reliable, and easy-to-deploy drive solutions will remain strong. In the future, integrated motors will further integrate with the Industrial Internet of Things (IIoT), incorporating more powerful communication functions (such as EtherCAT and PROFINET) and intelligent diagnostic capabilities to become a critical foundational component for building flexible, distributed smart factories.
Backed by years of technical expertise, Lishui City Hengli Automation Technology Co.,LTD is committed to advancing integrated motor innovation to meet evolving industry needs. According to industry analysis, the global smart integrated motor market is expected to maintain steady growth in the coming years, driven by increasing automation adoption across sectors worldwide.
