Overview
The Transtecno EC series is a range of ferrite permanent magnet DC electric motors designed for compact low voltage drive applications. These motors are built for Australian businesses that need practical DC motor solutions for machinery, automation, mobile equipment and OEM systems where reliable starting torque and a compact motor body matter.
The EC range uses a magnetic field generated by permanent ferrite magnets and is available with 12 Vdc or 24 Vdc low voltage supply. With six motor diameters across the range and S2 power ratings from 30 W to 800 W, the EC series gives machine builders and maintenance teams a broad platform for selecting a DC motor around the actual load, space and duty cycle of the equipment.
This product page is for the EC ferrite permanent magnet DC motor range. It is not an ecommerce product listing. The right model should be selected based on your application requirements, including voltage, torque, speed, duty cycle, mounting arrangement and any brake or encoder needs.
Key Features
The EC series is designed to deliver useful torque and output power from a compact DC motor package. Its tubular construction helps keep the motor body simple and space efficient, while the ferrite permanent magnet design supports consistent DC motor performance across a wide range of low voltage applications.
Key features include:
- Magnetic field generated by permanent ferrite magnets
- Tubular construction without fan
- Six available motor sizes: 42, 52, 65, 81, 104 and 110 mm diameter
- 12 Vdc and 24 Vdc low voltage supply options
- Power ratings from 30 W to 800 W S2
- High starting torque for applications with heavier breakaway loads
- High torque and output power in compact dimensions
- Ball bearing motor support
- Graphite and copper composite brush design
- Brake options available on selected models
- Encoder options available on selected models
For many Australian industrial users, the benefit is straightforward. The EC range allows a compact DC motor to be matched to a machine requirement without oversizing the equipment or moving to a more complex drive arrangement unnecessarily.
Common Applications
Permanent magnet DC motors are often used where variable speed, low voltage supply or compact motor sizing is important. The EC series is especially relevant for applications that need dependable starting torque and a motor format that can be integrated into machinery, gearmotors or compact drive systems.
Common application areas include:
- Battery powered equipment
- Mobile machinery and service equipment
- Compact industrial automation
- Conveyor and material handling systems
- Packaging and process machinery
- OEM machinery builds
- Actuators and positioning systems
- DC gearmotor assemblies
- Equipment upgrades or replacement motor projects
The range can suit both new machinery design and replacement requirements, provided the motor is correctly matched to the required torque, speed, duty and supply conditions.
EC Series Range
The EC range covers several motor sizes and output levels, allowing the motor to be selected around the demands of the machine rather than relying on one generic DC motor option.
Confirmed EC motor power options include:
- EC020: 30 W S2, 20 W S1, 42 mm diameter
- EC035: 55 W S2, 35 W S1, 52 mm diameter
- EC050: 70 W S2, 50 W S1, 65 mm diameter
- EC070: 100 W S2, 70 W S1, 65 mm diameter
- EC100: 140 W S2, 100 W S1, 80 mm diameter
- EC180: 250 W S2, 180 W S1, 80 mm diameter
- EC250: 350 W S2, 250 W S1, 104 mm diameter
- EC350: 500 W S2, 350 W S1, 110 mm diameter
- EC600: 800 W S2, 600 W S1, 110 mm diameter
Selected models are available with brake and encoder options. The 110 mm diameter EC motors include electromagnetic brake options, making them suitable for applications where controlled stopping or holding is required.
Brake And Encoder Options
Selected EC motors can be configured with brake or encoder assemblies. This is useful when the motor is part of an application that needs controlled stopping, holding, feedback or integration into a more controlled drive system.
Brake options shown in the EC range include brake and brake with hand release variants. Confirmed brake feature data includes 12 V and 24 V brake voltage options, 3000 min-1 speed rating and brake torque options including 1.8 Nm and 5 Nm depending on the motor configuration.
Encoder options are available on selected EC models. Confirmed encoder data includes 2 channels, 5 Vdc TTL supply and available encoder resolutions of 1, 100 and 300 CPR. For non standard encoder resolution requirements, the correct configuration should be confirmed before ordering.
Selection Considerations
Choosing the right EC series motor should start with the work the motor needs to perform. A DC motor that looks suitable by power rating alone may not be correct once duty cycle, starting load, current draw, available space and control requirements are considered.
Important selection factors include:
- Required voltage, either 12 Vdc or 24 Vdc
- Required output torque and start up torque
- Operating duty cycle, including S1 continuous or S2 short time duty
- Target speed and gearbox pairing requirements
- Available mounting space and shaft arrangement
- Brake requirement for stopping or holding
- Encoder requirement for feedback or positioning
- Power supply type, including battery, SCR or PWM supply
- Environmental conditions around the motor
With a DC motor, speed and absorbed current change as the applied torque changes. This makes it important to size the motor using the real operating load, not just a general wattage target. For continuous or highly intermittent duty, speak with our team so the motor selection can be checked against the intended operating cycle.
