Water Softener Timer Motors for OEMs
Midwest Timer Service builds water softener timer motors for OEMs. We routinely supply components for water softening systems, and we build our permanent magnet synchronous motors to your voltage, output speed, torque, and rotation specs. Each motor mates to an M70 round or M80 pear-shaped gearbox to reach the output speed your design calls for.
Common Applications in Water Softening Systems
Our commercial synchronous motors are engineered for continuous-duty appliances and power systems that require precise timing and reliable operation. We routinely supply components for water softening systems and related uses:
- Water softening systems: custom synchronous motors built to your voltage, output speed, torque, and rotation direction.
- Timers and timing controls: motors paired with M70 round or M80 pear-shaped gearboxes to hit specific RPM and torque targets.
- Motorized valves and actuators: custom torque motors with clockwise or counterclockwise rotation and electrically biased or mechanical direction systems.
Why Synchronous Motors for Water Softener Valves
In a synchronous motor, the rotor runs exactly in step with the frequency of the power supply line, so timing stays consistent. Our motors use a precision-wound coil and permanent magnet rotor in a pre-coated steel stator cup, with Class B insulation rated to 125 degrees Celsius. All of our motors are UL and CSA listed.
Synchronous Motor Models for Softener Valves
- Model 002: 600 RPM at 60 Hz with 375 in/oz stall torque (at 1 RPM), the highest stall torque in our permanent magnet line. Ideal where a more costly motor might otherwise have to be specified.
Talk with a Timer Applications Engineer
If you are designing or specifying water softening systems for your next production program, contact Midwest Timer Service to review your requirements, including voltage and frequency, target output speed, torque, rotation direction, dimensional limits, and production volumes. Our team will help you select the right water softener control valve motor and gearbox configuration.
FAQ
What type of motor runs a water softener timer?
Many softener control valves use a small AC synchronous motor driving a gear train. Because its speed is locked to line frequency, the motor keeps the timer and regeneration cycle on schedule.
What details do you need to quote a water softener timer motor?
Send us the voltage, target output speed, torque specs, and rotation direction. Dimensional limits and estimated production volume also helps. You can send an existing print or drawing for review.
What other applications use your commercial synchronous motors?
Along with water softening systems, we routinely supply components for timers and timing controls, water heater timers, irrigation products, motorized valves and actuators, and rotating retail displays.
