HONG KONG, March 8 /PRNewswire-Asia-FirstCall/ -- Johnson Electric today announced the first of many new electronically commutated (EC) motors that are under development. This new brushless DC motor product line is designed for high efficiency, long life and precision detente torque performance in critical HVAC valve and damper control applications. http://www.johnsonmotor.com

The HVAC valve motor product line comes in two versions, low detente torque and high detente torque in three packages, 24mm, 30mm and 38mm diameter. The low detente torque motors are for spring-return applications, while the high detente torque versions are for non-spring return applications. A key feature of this product line is highly stable detente torque over time, even in a high temperature and high humidity environment. This motor performance level is achieved by an innovative magnetic design and a unique mechanical structure utilizing precision components throughout.
