For patients reliant on oxygen therapy for a severe lung disease, oxygen concentrators offer more mobility than heavy, bulky oxygen tanks. But patients say even smaller devices weighing as little as 5 lb and measuring less than 12 inches wide and tall can be noisy and tiring to carry. To hurdle these challenges, Moog Industrial Controls segment, a division of Moog Inc., offers designers and makers of medical equipment the Silencer BN series brushless DC motors for oxygen concentrators.Source: Moog

The smallest Silencer motor, including housing, measures 1.2 inches in diameter and 1.3 inches long. The Silencer series motors have a continuous torque ranging from 2.4 to 519 ounces per inch, speeds up to 20,000 rpm and range-rated power up to 874 W.

A high level of efficiency also ensures a longer battery operating life for oxygen concentrators, whether running in a pulse-flow or continuous mode. Moog also designed the Silencer with high-energy magnets and exceptional winding density to not only reduce the motor’s size but also generate nearly twice as much torque as conventional stator technology.
