Home Appliances utilising DC Motors

Everyday Items that use DC motors
DC motors are utilised in every facet of daily life. Although DC motors are considerably smaller than other motors used in industrial automation or materials handling applications, they are just as strong and durable. They are therefore perfect for use in commonplace goods like home appliances.

To provide the most effective product for the consumer, brushless DC motors and PMDC motors, which are found in commonplace objects, must operate on demand and withstand prolonged use. We highlight a few household situations where BLDC and permanent magnet DC motors are used, as well as the reasons why these motors are ideal for small applications.

Dishwashers
Dishwashers are used in countless homes all around the world to simplify life. Some dishwashers employ high voltage PMDC motors to power the pump, which has been demonstrated to increase the product's efficiency. This is due to the fact that permanent magnet DC motors have the ability to optimise speed for maximum performance and are not reliant on the supply power's frequency to function effectively. Because they are a space- and money-saving alternative, PMDC motors are also widely used in dishwashers, which makes them easier to install in a home. PMDC motors may be easily modified for a range of applications, making them suitable for use in industrial dishwashers and other applications in numerous industries.

Air Conditioning Systems
Due to their powerful starting torque, DC motors are frequently utilised in air conditioning systems since they can take action more rapidly and begin chilling the room right away.   Particularly BLDC motors require extremely minimal upkeep, extending the lifespan of the air conditioner and enabling it to run for longer periods of time.   Brushless DC motors are excellent for this use since they are very silent due to the absence of brushes.   For this reason, BLDC motors are frequently used in patient hoists and other hospital equipment.

Children's Toys
DC motors are the ideal motor choice for kid's toys. They require motors that are tough and incredibly durable because they are high-use objects that are frequently thrown around. Children's toys rarely require maintenance, regardless of the type of DC motor used—brushed or brushless. Additionally, DC motors are available in a range of voltages, allowing you to alter the toy's movement and speed. Because they may be modified to fit the application, they are especially beneficial for remote-control cars and toy trains.
