Motors - Appliance, HVACR, Automotive
As one of the world’s largest motor manufacturers, Panasonic provides fractional-horsepower motors for high-efficiency fan-blowing applications commonly used in Appliances, HVAC/R, and Automotive. Our AC motors, DC motors, and Electronically Commutated Motors (EC motors) solutions are designed for multiple indoor and outdoor applications. They can be optimized to a specific implementation for airflow, low noise, and efficient performance. Our motor expertise also includes Motors for automotive braking systems. Our motor products include:
- ECM Fan Motors for residential and commercial building heating, ventilation, and air conditioning equipment
- Refrigeration Fan Motors for condenser cooling and evaporator air circulation in residential and commercial refrigeration equipment
- DC Flat Motors commonly coupled to fans for use in automotive, RV, and truck cooling and ventilation
- Vacuum Cleaner Motors for vacuum, spa blower, air filtration, smoke evacuation, and other applications specific to vacuum and air ventilation needs
- Motors for automotive braking systems and battery cooling

Read why Panasonic was challenged to significantly reduce the weight of vacuum cleaner motors by 45% compared to the conventional motor design. The motor is a core component of any household vacuum cleaner unit. The motor directly affects the vacuum cleaner's suction force and total weight. We developed a motor that weighs approximately 45% less and has an external size of approximately 85% of the conventional vacuum motor. This new motor design created a significant contribution to reducing the weight and size of vacuum cleaner units.
