AC Motors

FAAC's journey began with hydraulic systems powered by alternating current (230V AC) motors. In these motors, the flow of current generates a rotating magnetic field within the stator, which drives the shaft and rotor.

In single-phase systems, a capacitor is connected between the stator windings to initiate rotation. These motors are equipped with integrated thermal protection that shuts off power in case of overload, ensuring maximum operational safety.

Despite technological advancements and the introduction of DC motors, AC motors remain widely used today—thanks to their proven reliability and consistent performance over time.

DC Motors

DC motors consist of a rotor powered via a brush collector and a stator that generates a constant magnetic field.

While they lack built-in physical thermal protection, FAAC systems feature electronic thermal protection, ensuring safe and reliable operation at all times.

By adjusting the supply voltage and current, both motor speed and torque can be precisely controlled.

Key advantages of DC motors include: precise control of force and speed, smooth acceleration and deceleration ramps for enhanced comfort, high energy efficiency, backup battery support to maintain operation during power outages
