Powering India’s Growth: The Electric Motor Industry
Introduction
India’s electric motor industry is a true powerhouse that helps in the nation’s industrial growth and technological innovation.
This sector, currently valued at INR 120 billion, is projected to surge to INR 180 billion by 2029, growing at 17.45% CAGR.
There are a number of key players in this industry whose motors energise everything from household appliances to infrastructure projects. As India pushes towards increased industrial automation and energy efficiency, the role of these manufacturers is more important than ever.
Here is the list of our POWERHOUSES…
INTEGRATED BRAKING FOR OPTIMAL SAFETY
In these specialised motors, there’s a braking mechanism designed to bring machinery to a controlled stop within a predetermined time frame. Unlike conventional motors that may take longer to decelerate or require external braking components, DC brake motors have an integrated braking system that engages upon the removal of power or the application of a braking signal.
THE BRAKING PRINCIPLE
The braking action is achieved through the strategic use of a braking winding within the motor’s construction. When activated, this winding generates a counter-electromagnetic force that opposes the rotational motion of the motor’s shaft, effectively converting the motor’s kinetic energy into thermal energy.
This controlled dissipation of energy truly ensures a smooth and predictable deceleration, minimising the risk of sudden stops or overshoots that could potentially cause damage or injuries.
