ECM’s PCB Stator Motors Prove Advantageous for New England Aquarium
ECM showcases the benefits of using PCB stator motors for pump applications.
The New England Aquarium (NEA), based in Boston, recently commissioned ECM to replace a conventional 2.2-kW pump motor, used to service a tank responsible for the rehabilitation of injured sea turtles, with a custom PCB stator motor solution.
The legacy motor ECM replaced had a rated motor efficiency of 79%, weighed 17 kg, and measured 13-plus inches in axial length. ECM’s solution has a rated motor efficiency of 93%, a mass of 12 kg, and an axial length of just 3.9 inches.
