Motors are divided into controlled motors and non-controlled motors. Generally speaking, non-controlled motors mainly focus on the power and energy indicators of the motor during startup and operation, while control motors focus on the amplitude-frequency characteristics, phase-frequency characteristics and output of the motor output. The accuracy, sensitivity, stability, linearity and other indicators of the characteristics, as the executive components of the system, the control motor pays more attention to the torque, speed, position output characteristics, etc.

　　Modern control motors include stepper motors, DC brushless motors and servo motors, etc. The drive control system consists of control motor + motor driver + controller and other components to complete complex motion control tasks. The usage of control motors and their drive systems is closely related to the level of economic development, science and technology, industrial automation and the technical development level of the control motor itself. It is mainly used in industrial automation, office automation, financial equipment, medical equipment , communications and household appliances. And other downstream industries, the application is very extensive.

　　From the perspective of market size, according to industry estimates, the global shipment of hybrid stepping motors in 2021 will be about 100 million units, and the market size will be about 800 million US dollars. If motor control and drive systems are added, the global scale will be about 1.3 billion. USD; permanent magnet stepping motor, there are 1.6 billion units of stock market in the world, if you count one unit for 1 dollar, the market size is about 1.6 billion US dollars; the global shipment of brushless DC motors in 2021 is about 1.5 billion units; servo system It is estimated that this year's shipments will be 15-20 million sets, of which Japan's Panasonic has the largest output, about 3 million sets a year, and domestic Huichuan Technology also has about 1 million sets.
　　In recent years, many semiconductor manufacturers have begun to launch new products and solutions for the motor control industry. Of course, in addition to the original chip manufacturers, there are actually many manufacturers doing downstream applications in China. Today, let's take a look at a few of them. The latest developments of representative enterprises, such as MOONS, Jiangsu Lely, Kelier, etc.

　　Jiangsu Leili: Based on home appliances, it has entered new energy (automobile, photovoltaic), medical, industrial control and other fields

　　Jiangsu Leili is a company mainly engaged in the research and development, production and sales of household appliances, automotive micro-motors, intelligent components for medical instruments, industrial control motors and components, and related components. It used to be mainly based on home appliances, but now it has entered new energy (automobile, photovoltaic), medical, industrial control and other fields based on home appliances. However, in the new field, it is generally in the initial stage, and the market share is not high.

　　In the field of industrial control, the overall direction is based on brushless motors as a platform.Servo motor direction development.

　　In terms of new energy vehicles, mainly aluminum die-casting, the overall market share is small. At present, the aluminum die-casting market is relatively scattered, and the future will be a trend of concentration. Some customers have already imported.

　　In terms of photovoltaics and energy storage, when the entire industry just started last year, Jiangsu Lely entered, and the current customer expansion is good.

　　In terms of medical treatment, China's IVD nucleic acid testing market has grown rapidly in recent years. For the voice coil motor, there is only one British company in the domestic competitor, and the current supply ratio accounts for 50%.

　　In addition, Jiangsu Lely has launched many new products this year:

　　1) Home appliances: The mass production of brushless motors for air conditioners began in June. The output value is expected to be 30 to 40 million this year. It is currently being used in batches in various Gree bases. It will bring several customers in the future, and it is currently in the contact stage. At present, the production capacity is built at 1 million units, and the brushless platform will be a product with a large increase in the future. In addition, the new product of the refrigerator is the ice-making system, which focuses on foreign countries. The sales volume of Electrolux and Whirlpool will increase in the second half of the year.

　　2) Industrial control: In the second half of the year, Dingzhi Technology will launch new products such as hollow cup motors and precision gear boxes. The brushless hollow cup motor has broken through the automatic mass production capacity. Precision gearboxes invested about 10 to 20 million related equipment last year. In the first half of the year, due to the impact of logistics, the project was delayed by 3 to 5 months, and the equipment was installed in August and September. In December, the company will launch hollow cup motors, precision gearboxes, and screw rods, which are used in control motor systems for industrial control, military industry and high-end medical instruments.
