Agriculture has historically been aided by the development of new technology, and we see that trend continuing with Nidec's line of products. Whether you are looking to eliminate the maintenance issues that accompany hydraulic systems, wanting to increase the efficiency of your equipment or designing a new product, we can provide the expertise you need to meet your goals. Nidec motors can be utilized in equipment such as harvesters, conveyors, mixers, pumps and autonomous equipment.

The demand for electric motors in farming continues to grow as new environmental regulations on diesel engines contribute to an increase in their cost, weight and size. In addition, hydraulic systems require scheduled maintenance and can potentially leak hazardous fluid onto fields. These issues can be avoided by utilizing electric motors instead of hydraulic systems. Finding quality labor has become another common issue in modern agriculture, but technological advances in agricultural robotics are ushering in a new era of autonomous equipment that can help alleviate this concern.

 

Nidec is proud to offer our series of HVLS (high volume, low speed) fan motors. Our Blade Runner series, is available in both 1 and 2 HP variations and designed for use in both 230VAC and 430VAC systems. The direct-drive gearless design delivers high reliability, low maintenance and quiet operation. 

Our platforms are engineered to provide a solution that allows for potential cost reductions, increased efficiency, and increased performance versus gear-driven systems. There are also customization options to suit your needs: hollow shafts for additional lighting fixtures, custom windings to suit your input and output requirements, as well as modifications to attain higher ingress protection (IP) ratings.
