One motor for 2 million cycles: The customer was looking for an efficient and cost-friendly alternative for the access barriers drives of a control system. Elektrosil took on the task of finding a suitable motor model with appropriate dimensions. The objective was a motor with adapted performance data, customised connection cable and an improved service life.

Thanks to in-depth knowledge of gear motors and extensive contacts with manufacturers, the Elektrosil team found a suitable model in accordance with the technical specifications. The motor had ideal dimensions and, with its cylindrical shape, fitted perfectly into the tubular frame of the barrier. To achieve the longer service life, highly stressed components of the standard motor were replaced: the carbon brushes and the bearing were replaced by wear-resistant components. The new motor solution confirmed its endurance in a sensory load test. The drive performed the opening and closing operations over the 2 million cycles requested by the customer. The engineers also used a specific cable and connector solution for the connection by attaching the contacts to the side of the housing. This allowed the entire actuator, including connections, to be inserted into the tube and facilitated easy maintenance. The entire project took about half a year, during which the team continuously communicated with the customer.
