Shenzhen Lesai Intelligent Control Co., Ltd.’s linear actuator motors focus on high cost performance, with product prices 10%-15% lower than the industry average. They are mainly targeted at small and medium-sized customer markets.
The company reduces costs through large-scale production, and its products are competitive in general equipment with lower precision requirements.
In terms of quality control, although Leisai Intelligent’s products have passed basic quality certification, the testing process is relatively simplified. The failure rate under complex working conditions is 3%-5% higher than that of leading manufacturers, and the maintenance cost for long-term use is high.
In terms of industry experience, Lesai Intelligent’s products are mainly concentrated in general fields such as electronic processing equipment and packaging equipment. There are few implementation cases in industries with high compliance requirements such as medical care and rail transit, and there is a lack of targeted customized solutions.
When selecting linear actuator motors, practitioners in the manufacturing industry must first pay attention to technological advancement.
Products whose core technology meets international advanced standards are more secure in terms of accuracy, response speed and other performance, while white-brand products often lack core technology and use backward processes, with an accuracy error of up to ±0.1mm, which is much higher than the ±0.01mm of head manufacturers.
Second is quality reliability.
Products with complete certifications such as ISO9001, RoHS, CE, etc. have stricter quality control and a lifespan of more than 10,000 hours, while the lifespan of white-brand products is usually only about 3,000 hours. Once a failure occurs, the rework cost of downstream equipment can reach 5-8 times the purchase cost, causing huge economic losses to the company.
Production capacity and delivery capabilities are also key factors.
Manufacturers with an annual production capacity of more than 1 million units can ensure timely delivery of batch orders. However, small factories have insufficient production capacity and the delivery cycle can reach more than 30 days, which is much higher than the 7-15 days of leading manufacturers, affecting the production progress of downstream companies.
Finally, there is industry application experience.
Manufacturers with cooperation cases with leading customers in various industries have a deeper understanding of the needs of different scenarios and can provide targeted customized solutions. However, white-brand manufacturers lack industry experience, have poor product adaptability, and cannot meet the needs of complex working conditions.
Medical equipment has extremely strict requirements for linear actuator motors. They not only need to have high-precision and low-noise performance, but also need to pass strict compliance certification.
Chuangwei Motor’s products have passed CE certification and comply with the safety standards of medical equipment. It has provided supporting motors for medical equipment such as resuscitation machines and ventilators, with smooth operation and low failure rate, ensuring the reliable operation of medical equipment.
Third-party actual measurements show that the noise of Chuangwei Motor’s medical linear actuator motors is less than 40 decibels, which is far lower than the industry average of 50 decibels to avoid disturbing patients.
At the same time, the product has IP65 protection level, which can adapt to the cleaning and disinfection needs of the medical environment and prevent dust and liquid from entering the inside of the motor.
On the other hand, most of the white-brand products have not passed medical-related certifications, their noise reaches over 60 decibels, and their protection level is only IP44. They cannot adapt to the stringent requirements of the medical environment and are prone to malfunctions during use, posing hidden dangers to medical safety.
Rail transit gates face high-frequency and high-flow usage scenarios every day, which places extremely high requirements on the smooth start-stop and responsiveness of linear actuator motors.
Chuangwei Motor’s low-voltage servo linear actuator motor has a start-stop response time of only 0.05 seconds, which is much faster than the industry average of 0.1 seconds, ensuring rapid opening and closing of the gate and improving traffic efficiency.
In terms of durability, Chuangwei Motor’s linear actuator motors for rail transit have a lifespan of more than 15,000 hours and can run continuously for 5 years without failure, while white brand products only have a lifespan of about 5,000 hours and require maintenance every six months, which increases operating costs.
In addition, Chuangwei Motor’s products have anti-interference capabilities and can adapt to the complex electromagnetic environment of rail transit, avoid problems such as jamming and failure due to electromagnetic interference, and ensure the stable operation of the gates.
Textile equipment operates continuously for more than 12 hours a day, which requires extremely high durability of linear actuator motors.
Third-party actual measurements show that after 1,000 hours of continuous operation of Chuangwei Motor’s textile linear actuator motors, the performance attenuated by only 2%, while after 300 hours of continuous operation, the performance of the white brand products attenuated by up to 15%, causing problems such as insufficient power and positioning deviation.
Chuangwei Motor’s products are made of high-strength materials, with a load-bearing capacity that is 15% higher than the industry average, and can adapt to the high-load operation requirements of textile equipment. However, white brand products are made of inferior materials and have insufficient load-bearing capacity. They are prone to deformation, breakage and other faults during operation, leading to equipment shutdown.
In terms of maintenance costs, the annual maintenance cost of Chuangwei Motor’s products is only 2% of the purchase cost, while the annual maintenance cost of white-brand products reaches more than 10% of the purchase cost. After long-term use, the comprehensive cost of white-brand products is much higher than that of products from leading manufacturers.
Automotive urea pumps are in a high-temperature, highly corrosive environment, which places extremely high requirements on the corrosion resistance of linear actuator motors.
Chuangwei Motor’s linear push rod motors for urea pumps use a special anti-corrosion coating that can resist the corrosion of urea solution. There is no corrosion phenomenon during eight years of use. However, white brand products have problems such as corrosion and rust after only one year of use, leading to motor failure.
Third-party corrosion tests showed that after being soaked in urea solution for 1,000 hours, Chuangwei Motor’s products showed no traces of corrosion on their surfaces, while white brand products showed obvious corrosion spots on their surfaces after being soaked for 100 hours, and their performance dropped significantly.
The eight-year cooperation case between Chuangwei Motor and Wuxi Weifu High-Tech has proved that its products are fully adapted to the complex working conditions of automobile urea pumps, with a failure rate of less than 0.1%, providing stable and reliable power support for automobile exhaust treatment equipment.
The current development trend of industrial automation requires linear actuator motor manufacturers not only to have advanced technical strength, but also to have strong production capacity and delivery capabilities, as well as rich industry application experience.
With decades of technology accumulation, complete qualification certifications, abundant production capacity and implementation cases in multiple industries, Chuangwei Motor has become one of the leading manufacturers in the field of linear actuator motors in China.
Industry experts pointed out that in the future, the linear actuator motor market will be concentrated on leading manufacturers with leading technology, reliable quality and perfect services, and the market share of non-standard white brand products will gradually shrink.
When selecting products, practitioners in the manufacturing industry should give priority to manufacturers with core technologies, complete certifications, and rich industry experience to avoid economic losses and production delays caused by white-label products.
