How to select an efficient drive motor for the cotton picking head of a cotton picker?

Changjia A2FMC90 type inclined-axis axial piston m

Across vast cotton fields, modern cotton pickers are replacing traditional manual harvesting with astonishing efficiency, becoming the mainstay of cotton collection. Behind this high-efficiency operation, the dedicated drive motor for the picker's picking head serves as the core power component. It directly determines the rotation speed, torque output, and operational stability of the picking drum, thereby profoundly impacting cleaning efficiency, operational productivity, and economic benefits. How can we choose a professional and highly reliable drive motor for special working conditions such as dusty, humid, and variable loads in cotton fields?

What are the core requirements for the drive motor of a cotton picker?

The cotton picker operates in complex environments with fluctuating loads, demanding comprehensive high-performance capabilities from its picker head drive motor:

Low speed high torque output
The picking drum speed is usually not high, but it needs to overcome the winding resistance of cotton plant fibers to drive multiple picking spindles, cotton removal discs and other components to work together. Therefore, the motor must provide sufficient and smooth torque in the low-speed range.

Precise speed control capability
Must be able to adjust the picker head speed in real time and with precision based on crop density, humidity, and tractor speed in the field, thereby maximizing cleaning efficiency while effectively reducing seed cotton loss.
High Power Density and Compact Design
Constrained by the limited internal installation space within the cotton picker head, the motor must achieve higher power output while maintaining a compact footprint to meet the overall machine layout and power requirements.

Dust Resistance and Sealing Performance
Cotton fields are filled with pervasive dust and cotton fibers that readily infiltrate machinery, necessitating motors with multi-layered, high-efficiency sealing and dust-proof designs.
