Power Tools

Noise reduction, higher torque, and faster speeds are the driving factors for motors in power tools. In turn the control requirements have become more complex with designers demanding more control over power and speed. At the same time increasing battery life is of paramount importance for cordless products, as this adds significant value for consumers.

NEC Electronics has developed significant experience in solutions for motor control in handheld appliances and can deliver a wide range of solutions for power tool manufacturers.
