Energy Saving Motors
PRESS release: April 2024
Birkerød, Denmark - JVL A/S, one of the world’s leading producers in the field of integrated servo and stepper motors, is not only producing extremely efficient integrated motors, but the motors are also very energy saving, and can therefore be the main part of your green machine or production!
Why energy saving is important
We live in a time, where we know better than ever the effect we have on the environment. But as you may know, thinking about the environment can also save cost.
Over time, a highly efficient motor like an integrated JVL motor can pay back the investment many times.
When you buy a new washing machine for your home, you go for the machine with the energy class A, because you know it will save you money in the long term – why not do the same when you buy a motor for your next machine – choose to be green, choose to save money, choose JVL!

Not all motors are equally efficient
Choosing electric motors over pneumatic and hydraulic solution, is well known to be the most efficient choice, but there is also big differences between the electric motors.

Optimized Power Efficiency of stepper motors
JVL MIS motors are a game-changer for stepper motors. These all-in-one motors are designed with an emphasis on power efficiency, which is more crucial than ever in our energy-conscious world. The ServoStep technology in JVL motors automatically reduces the current to only what is needed to maintain speed or hold the position. This not only optimizes the performance of the motor but also significantly reduces energy consumption. By choosing JVL, you are opting for green machines that contribute to a sustainable future.

Why Traditional Stepper Motors Fall Short
Traditional stepper motors are a less environmentally friendly choice. They operate at full current, regardless of the load or speed requirements. This leads to unnecessary energy usage and increased power consumption. In contrast, JVL motors with current control precisely regulate the amount of current supplied to the motor, eliminating unnecessary energy usage. This results in a decrease in overall power consumption, which in turn reduces the carbon footprint of the machines in which these motors are used. In essence, by choosing JVL MIS motors with current control, you are making a conscious choice for the environment, achieving efficient performance while caring for our planet.
ServoStep™ - Uses up to 93% less power
JVL are the pioneers of integrated motors. For the last 25 years, we have kept developing the best possible integrated motors. All this knowledge has led to the state-of-the-art ServoStep™ technology used in the JVL MIS integrated stepper series. With the combination of a marked leading servo controller, built together with a high torque stepper motor, you get extreme performance and efficiency in what we call the most advanced stepper motor in the market.
Below is an example of the effect of JVL’s Closed-Loop Current Control on the power used at a no-load test:
MIS340C12Q5H285 - 9 amp - 100 RPM - 12 VDC
Open loop: 3080 mA
Closed loop: 200 mA
MIS340C12Q5H285 - 9 amp - 100 RPM - 12 VDC
Open loop: 3080 mA
Closed loop: 200 mA
Tuned like a Formula 1 racing car
One of the big benefits of building the motor and controller together, is that all the parts are calibrated together.
Not all motors and controllers are identical, and at JVL, every single motor is calibrated after assembly, to ensure the highest possible efficiency and performance.
The k-phase is one of many adjustments we do at our factory in Denmark. Below is a whole article about just this parameter set, but here is one of the simplest ways of showing just how fine tuned our motors are:
After a full calibration, our massive integrated 12 Nm MIS343 can run 3000 RPM with only 24 VDC as supply voltage!
