Infinitum motor wins 2024 Silver Edison Award
Infinitum’s latest generation Aircore EC motor has been recognized with a 2024 Silver Edison Award in the Sustainable Energy category.
This is the second consecutive year that Infinitum has been honored for its innovation in the Sustainable Energy category. This year’s award honors Infinitum’s latest generation Aircore EC motor system, a high-efficiency motor system designed to sustainably power carbon-intensive commercial and industrial applications, such as HVAC fans, pumps and data centers with less energy consumption, reduced emissions and reduced waste.
Infinitum’s next-generation Aircore EC motor system offers higher levels of efficiency, power, and torque density in a smaller package that is 20% lighter than the previous version. The motor can also be tailored to fit specific application power, torque, and input current requirements, allowing customers to save on upfront electrical infrastructure costs while saving energy.
Demand for motors is increasing rapidly as the world electrifies, yet most traditional motors are heavy, waste energy, and are thrown into landfills at end-of-life.
Infinitum motors use fewer raw materials in manufacturing and modular design allows for motors to be easily serviced, repaired, remanufactured or recycled to keep motors in service and out of landfill.
“Our talented team continues to deliver more sustainable motors for emissions-intensive industries to have a real impact on the environment today and help solve the Net Zero challenge,” said Bhavnesh Patel, chief strategy officer, Infinitum. “We’re incredibly honored to be recognized by the prestigious Edison Awards organization for the second consecutive year for our potential to create a significant impact on the world.”
“The judges were thrilled to honor Infinitum’s latest generation Aircore EC as a groundbreaking category-changer this year, showcasing the power of innovation to improve our lives for the better,” said Frank Bonafilia, executive director of the Edison Awards.
The Edison Awards selects innovators based on their ability to solve important problems, offer game-changing advantages over alternatives and impact the environment and society as a whole. The 2024 winners were evaluated based on four essential criteria: Concept, Value, Delivery, and Impact.
