HS v2022 Code: 850140

About electric motors; ac motors, single-phase

HS code 850140 covers the classification of single-phase AC electric motors, which are a crucial component in a wide range of industrial and household applications. These motors are essential for powering various types of equipment, from fans and pumps to compressors and power tools. Their widespread use across numerous industries highlights their importance in the broader economy, contributing to the efficient operation of machinery and the production of a diverse array of goods and services.

Production process

The production of single-phase AC electric motors typically involves several key steps. Manufacturers begin by winding the stator coils, which create the magnetic field that drives the rotor. The rotor, often made of aluminum or copper, is then assembled and balanced to ensure smooth and efficient operation. The motor's housing, bearings, and other components are then assembled, and the entire unit is tested for performance and quality before being packaged for distribution.

Production inputs

The main inputs required for the production of single-phase AC electric motors include copper wire for the stator coils, aluminum or copper for the rotor, steel for the motor housing and other structural components, and various types of bearings and insulation materials. Specialized machinery, such as winding machines and balancing equipment, are also essential for the manufacturing process. Additionally, the industry relies on a skilled workforce to assemble and test the motors to ensure they meet the necessary performance and safety standards.

Production outputs

The primary output of HS code 850140 is single-phase AC electric motors, which are then consumed by a wide range of other industries and applications. These motors are used in 850431 Fans for ventilation and cooling, 841430 Compressors in refrigeration and air conditioning systems, 845011 Washing machines and other household appliances, as well as in various industrial machinery and equipment. The versatility of these motors allows them to be integrated into a diverse array of products and systems, making them an essential component in the broader manufacturing and consumer goods sectors.
