FED and ECM – brushless EC motors
for engine cooling fan modules
Product description
The FED and ECM are brushless drives for engine
cooling fan modules. The electronic commutation
of the motors provides infinitely variable speed
control. Compared with conventional brushed
motors, the new drives offer advantages in terms
of efficiency, installation space, electromagnetic
compatibility, thermal resistance, and resilience
against environmental influences. The drives can
be optionally controlled via a PWM or LIN interface.
Rotor position detection is sensorless. The infinitely
variable speed control provides optimum on-deECM and FED
mand cooling output.
Customer benefits
Additional protective functions are available to
▶ High motor efficiency of > 80%
supplement the motor functions. Whenever the fan
sticks, the permitted voltage/temperature range is
▶ Lower fuel consumption and CO₂ emissions
exceeded, an overcurrent occurs, or internal errors
▶ Long service life > 2,000 h (no brush wear)
are detected, the motor is switched off. The new
▶ Minimal noise
drives cover a broad output range.
▶ Active and passive thermal cutout
Result
▶ Highly resilient to environmental influences
The reduced overall weight and increased efficiency
▶ Compact design
are important for reducing fuel consumption and,
▶ Enhanced diagnostics functions
in turn, carbon dioxide (CO₂) emissions. The
▶ Scalable power range from 300 W – 715 W
European Energy Efficiency Directive describes
brushless EC technology as the “best available
▶ Improved power density ≥ 220 W/kg
