Saves energy and improves precision in conveyor lines without rare earths

A solution for challenges faced by conveyor line designers and managers

• Need to improve energy savings, but want to avoid workload of design changes

  

  Meets IE5 standards with proprietary technology Reduced size with the same power

• Don’t need the multifunction of a servo motor, but want higher precision than an inverter

  

  Positioning and speed control comparable to that of servo motors without a sensor

• Complying with different countries’ efficiency regulations is a hassle

  

  Magnetic motors do not require high-efficiency certification in most markets^*1
  and complies with international safety standards

• *1：China: GB 30253-2024 is applicable, but EM-AM is compliant with certain specifications. (EM-AH is not subject as it has a gearbox.)

Energy Saving / Compact

Through Mitsubishi’s unique salient-pole core and optimized magnet design, the motor volume has been reduced by up to 50% compared to conventional induction motors (IM), enabling significant downsizing for equipment. Plus, the high-efficiency PM motor reduces power consumption, supporting energy savings and carbon neutrality at workplaces without the workload for design changes.

High Performance

Using Mitsubishi’s unique salient-pole core and control technology, the motor performs high-precision speed control and positioning without an encoder. The sensorless design reduces wiring time and minimizes failure risk while enabling dual benefits of improved conveyor line cycle times and enhanced equipment value at low cost. It can also be driven by a general-purpose inverter from Mitsubishi Electric.

Global Compatibility

The EM-A Series features a magnetic motor that is not subject to international high efficiency regulations. This significantly reduces the time and effort required for compliance checks and certification in each export market. Overseas safety standard certifications (UL/cUL/CE) have also been acquired, providing strong support for smooth global deployment through standardized specifications and value-added manufacturing for the world.

• *1：China: GB 30253-2024 is applicable, but EM-AM is compliant with certain specifications. (EM-AH is not subject as it has a gearbox.)
• *2：Certifications apply to specially modified models.

Stable Supply

The EM-A series features a design made without rare earths, ensuring a stable supply unaffected by market fluctuations or material sourcing difficulties. By eliminating long lead-times due to dependence on rare earth materials, it offers strong support for reliable production planning. This stable availability and an environmentally conscious design help improve reliability for customers and clearly differentiate equipment.

• Eco-conscious design to

  differentiate equipment

Helps improve operational efficiency in various settings

This series goes beyond conveyor lines to demonstrate true value across a wide range of industrial settings. In environments such as clean rooms, where dust and oil must be avoided, the design’s elimination of sensors and cooling fans prevents those common sources of failure, directly improving reliability. For pumps and blowers, it provides energy savings while delivering the stable, high-torque performance at low speeds demanded by polishing machines, all with a single general-purpose inverter for a smart configuration.

• Clean rooms

  Fanless design reduces dust generation

  

• Pumps

  Provides torque at low speeds and high-precision speed control

  

• Polishers

  Max. rotation 4,000r/min Stable operation that is not affected by load fluctuations
