MOTOR MANUFACTURER · Zhejiang, CHINA

Nanyang Motor

Huzhou Nanyang Electric-Motor Co., Ltd.

Huzhou Nanyang Electric-Motor makes drive systems for washing machines and tumble dryers, as well as other appliance and vehicle applications. For an appliance OEM, its two most useful MotorSourcing paths are an outer-rotor direct-drive washer motor and a dryer-motor family. These are system-integration decisions: the motor, controller, drum or tub, mounting and operating programme must be approved together. Published family figures help screen a concept, but they are not a signed specification for a production part.

Nanyang Motor: washing-machine direct drive and dryer motor selection

01 / REMOVE THE BELT ONLY WHEN THE PLATFORM SUPPORTS IT

A direct-drive washer motor changes the tub and controller design

DD outer-rotor route for a front loader

Nanyang positions its DD outer-rotor BLDC motor for front-loading machines with an 8–25 kg appliance capacity. Its published table gives a 0–1600 rpm speed range, 36 stator slots, 48 rotor poles, and different torque/efficiency figures for wash and spin. The quoted 310 V DC is a table condition, not permission to connect a motor directly to an AC wall supply. Removing a belt also changes tub mounting, shaft support, sensor/control integration and imbalance behaviour; this is a platform design, not a motor-only substitution.

Confirm before ordering Send wet-load capacity, drum inertia and geometry, wash/spin cycles, DC bus and inverter, feedback interface, rotor clearance, tub mount and required NVH limits. Request a complete motor-controller drawing, winding and thermal data for the offered variant.

A different washer architecture may need a different motor

The manufacturer separates front-load DD and BLDC, top-load DDM/BLDC/AC, and semi-automatic wash/spin motors in its own catalogue. Those names refer to different mechanical and control arrangements. The 8–25 kg DD statement should not be carried over to a top-loader or a semi-automatic washer; compare the machine's transmission and programme before requesting a sample.

Confirm before ordering State front-load, top-load or semi-automatic layout; belt or direct coupling; output shaft and pulley; start/reversal profile; voltage/frequency by destination; and whether the motor control board is supplied or specified by the OEM.

02 / SEPARATE DRUM DRIVE FROM AIRFLOW

The dryer catalogue shows alternatives, not one universal motor

BLDC inverter option

Nanyang describes a DC-Dryer/BLDC inverter motor for dryers up to 15 kg and promotes independent drum and fan control, feedback, reverse motion and speeds up to 3500 rpm. The same page includes a comparison table with AC, BLDC and centrifugal-switch columns. Treat the 15 kg and 3500 rpm descriptions as manufacturer positioning for a family, then ask which exact assembly supplies the drum, fan and control functions; the page does not give a single complete bill of materials.

AC and centrifugal-switch alternatives

The official dryer category separately describes a conventional AC option and a centrifugal-switch starting option. Its comparison table lists different efficiency, torque, pole and power columns for those alternatives. Do not attach a BLDC figure to an AC unit, or assume that changing only the motor gives a dryer independent fan control.

Part of an OEM supply chain

Nanyang describes in-house enameled wire, stator/rotor cores, moulding, die casting and stamping. A 2025 Huzhou government industrial list independently names 湖州南洋电机有限公司 in micro-motor/component manufacturing, which supports company identity and sector, not today's capacity, defect rate or a particular model approval. For production approval, request the plant and process relevant to the quoted part, sample traceability and change-control documents.

03 / VALIDATE THE COMPLETE APPLIANCE

Turn a catalogue match into a controlled production variant

A motor's published family range cannot establish washer spin stability or dryer cycle performance in a new cabinet. Define the motor and electronics interface first, then run a common acceptance matrix on samples before freezing the drawing revision.

Send the appliance operating envelope

Provide nominal and maximum load, duty cycles, mains markets, motor DC bus or AC feed, ambient and moisture exposure, space claim, mounting, wiring/connector, control strategy and any drum/fan coupling. Include target noise and vibration at wash, ramp, spin or drying stages.

Agree a motor-plus-controller test

Require loaded start and reversal, voltage variation, temperature rise, wet-load imbalance, full-cycle NVH, protective shutdown and restart. For a dryer, validate airflow and drum speed separately if independent control is claimed; for a washer, validate low-speed torque and high-speed spin with the actual tub.

Freeze the purchase identity

Ask for part number, drawing revision, winding, software/drive version, sensor and connector specification, test limits, inspection records and formal change notice. If a destination requires product compliance evidence, verify the exact assembly and current certificate scope instead of relying on a company-level badge.
