Gen4 Aircore EC
Smaller. Lighter. Quieter. | Coming 2024
We’ve designed a motor with future generations in mind, going beyond efficiency and taking the entire lifecycle into account by using fewer resources to produce it, less energy to run it and a commitment to remanufacture it.

Power, intelligence, and controls all in one
Smaller, lighter, more efficient motors
HVAC fans
HVAC FansAircore EC motors are smaller and lighter than traditional iron core motors, making it possible for OEMs to directly mount the motor on the fan to develop smaller systems with increased efficiency. With our smaller and lighter motor, HVAC system designers can use arrays of these individual fan/motor units to create reliable systems that are easier and cost effective to install and maintain.
Pumps
In addition to the benefits provided by our integrated motor and drive package, our Aircore EC motors are specifically designed to safeguard against dust ingress and water splashing in harsh environments. The compact disc-like shape of our motors offers a much-needed option for confined spaces and facilitates easy serviceability within confined spaces where pumps are typically necessary.
Data centers
Efficient, sustainable data center solutions designed with flexibility in mind. Infinitum’s high efficiency motors and environmentally-forward technology support lower carbon emissions through modular design. Our circular design strategy is centered around reliability, serviceability, and remanufacturing.
Material handling
With high-performance and efficiency available across a wide range of operating speeds, Aircore EC motors are well positioned to provide reliable operation for industrial conveyor and materials handling applications that need high torque and high power at a relatively low RPM. Our motors are rated to function reliably across an operating temperature range of -25° to 40° C and 95 percent relative humidity.

Aircore EC advantages
Aircore EC efficiency
Aircore EC motors are built with a copper-etched PCB stator instead of a traditional iron core and copper windings. This design increases efficiency by eliminating high-loss eddy currents. Our motors are smaller and lighter, making it possible to mount the motor directly to the fan, which increases efficiency by 10 to 15 percent.
Small and powerful
Our lightweight durable materials generate the same amount of power as a traditional iron core motor in a package that is 50 percent lighter and smaller. The PCB stator maximizes power density by combining low-volume, high-energy product magnets and direct coil cooling, providing two to three times the current density of a conventional motor.
Software enabled
Aircore EC smart motor system allows you to create customized sequences for application-specific functionality. Our programmable software provides direct control over operational perimeters providing maximum performance for the lifetime of the motor. Built-in connectivity improves reliability from real-time data monitoring of critical equipment.
Superior control
We designed a state-of-the-art variable frequency drive (VFD) that provides a level of control not available in conventional motors using fixed voltage supply lines. Our VFD facilitates variable speed applications, reducing overall energy usage by running the motor at lower speeds when possible.
Durability and reliability
Third-party reliability tests have shown that our PCB stator is up to 9x more reliable than a conventional copper wire wound stator. This is because our PCB stator design eliminates the common points of failure seen in traditional motors related to copper windings and insulation.
Short lead times
Our simplified motor design and PCB stator technology makes it easy for any local contract PCB manufacturer to build and manufacture our motors, which means we can offer lead times as short as six to eight weeks for Aircore EC motors.
