ECM PCB Stator Technology has revealed its latest innovation—a 3hp electric pump motor with a unique ultra-light and premium efficiency design. The company used its patented printed circuit board stator technology and the Motor CAD platform, PrintStator, to create the product.
The collaboration between ECM and a major international pump manufacturer resulted in a next-generation solution, surpassing the leading market competitor in terms of performance and weight. The motor boasts a premium efficiency of 94 percent, 2.9 percent higher than its closest competitor, and weighs only 22lbs, significantly lighter than traditional pump motors.
ECM’s PCB Stator motor features a compact form factor with an axial length of 100mm, compared to the leading market competitor’s 424mm, opening up possibilities for various commercial and residential pump applications. The design is customizable to suit specific use cases, including heating, cooling, fire-safety systems, irrigation, medical devices, mining, and more.
ECM’s goal is to address the need for a 21st-century design upgrade for electrically powered pumps, which play a crucial role in commercial and industrial systems. The company’s innovative motor design aims to reduce electricity and maintenance costs, as well as contribute to a more sustainable energy future. The global launch of ECM’s PrintStator as a Software-as-a-Service (SaaS) platform is scheduled for Q4 2023, making the technology accessible to innovators across various industries.
