When selecting a motor, it is important to consider the required duty cycle to ensure the motor can meet the needs of the application. This blog post and the accompanying lightboard video will provide a basic introduction to motor duty cycles and a few of the most common types of duty cycles. Once you have identified the type of duty cycle(s) your machine operates, contact us to see how we can find the best solution for your specific application. The International Electrotechnical Commission (IEC) defines eight classifications for a duty cycle which are grouped by continuous, short-term, or periodic cycles. These cycles refer to the sequence and duration in time of all aspects of a typical operation, including starting, running with no load, running with a full load, electric braking, and rest. These operations are viewed by how they affect the motor temperature in order to determine if the selected motor is correct for the application, if increased cooling such as a forced ventilation fan is required, or if a whole new motor should be used. hitpshwwu-kebamerica.convbog/4-ypes-of- motor culy-cyles-every-angineer-shouk-knowit:~text=The first2C and simplest%2C type.halit reac... 2°12 2yi0ar2022 13:48 ‘4 Types of Motor Duty Cycles Every Engineer Snould Know - KEB. C5) LOAD TIME MAXIMUM. TEMPERATURE ATTAINED TEMPERATUI ' TIME (Figure 1) Motor Duty Cycle #1 — Continuous Duty The first, and simplest, type of motor duty cycle is continuous duty. This is also referred to by its abbreviated name, S1 duty (Figure 1). In this type of operation, the motor runs with a constant load for a long enough duration so that it reaches thermal equilibrium. This also assumes the starting of the motor can be considered to have a negligible effect on the motor temperature. An example of S1 duty would be a fan that is switched on and then let run non-stop. The advantages of continuous duty cycles include efficiency, dependability, and simplicity. Because motors in continuous duty allow the system temperature to hitpshwwu-kebamerica.convbg/4-ypes-of- motor culy-cycles-every-engineer-shouk-knowit~text=The fist&2C and simplest%2C type.halit reac... 3/12 2yi0ar2022 13:48 4 Types of Motor Duty Cycles Every Engineer Should Know - KEB CSS GYUIES are tuea!

Typical applications of continuous duty cycles may include escalators, eMobility solutions, or even packaging machinery. As a leader in control and automation technology, KEB offers a range of flexible motors capable of steady, continuous operation to support your machine-building needs #2 Short Time Duty (S2) LOAD TIME MAXIMUM TEMPERATURE Z ATTAINED TEMPERATURE TIME hitpshwwu-kebamerica.convbog/4-ypes-of- motor duly-cyles-every-enginesr-shouk-knowit:~text=The first2C and simplest%2C type.hatit reac. 4/12 2yi0ar2022 13:48 ‘4 Types of Motor Duty Cycles Every Engineer Snould Know - KEB. before it reaches thermal equilibrium. The motor is then allowed to rest long enough for it to reach ambient temperature. Short time duty is designated by S2 followed by the number of minutes in the cycle (S2 30 minutes). Periodic Duty (S3-S8) Periodic duty refers to the designations S3-S8. These include cycles with and without rest that have starting, electric braking, and/or changing speeds/loads. Throughout all of these designations, the various operations of the cycle are repeated over time and the motor is not allowed to reach thermal equilibrium. Periodic duty cycles are often ideal for machines with rapidly changing or unpredictable load demands, such as elevators, punch presses, compactors, or even industrial saws and other metalworking machinery. These machines can shift load demands within seconds, necessitating a flexible motor duty cycle that can sustain these periodic operations without stalling or overheating. KEB has a variety of adaptable motors that offer unmatched feedback and brake options to match your unique application needs. #3 Intermittent Periodic Duty (S3) hitpshwwu:kebamerica.convbog/4-ypes-of- motor duly-cycles-every-engineer-shoul-knowit:~text=The fist2C and simplest%2C type.halit reac... 9/12 2yi0ar2022 13:48 ‘4 Types of Motor Duty Cycles Every Engineer Snould Know - KEB. C5) LOAD TIME MAXIMUM TEMPERATURE ATTAINED TEMPERATURE Intermittent periodic duty is the simplest type of periodic duty. This sequence of identical cycles each contains a period of constant load and a period at rest. This is very similar to S2 duty but differs because it never reaches ambient temperature during its rest period. This duty cycle is abbreviated as S3 followed by the percentage of time under load (S3 xx%, where the % = AT
