The basis of the work of any washing machine embedded in the motor and the drum dryer. Structural differences in the organization of their work is determined by the technical characteristics of washing machines. There is a belt and direct drive type washing machines, which differ in the method of transmitting rotation from the motor to the drum.
In the classical washing machine motor is installed separately from the drum, usually at the bottom of the housing. unwinding drum during washing and spinning is done at the expense of the belt, which directly connects these two mechanisms together. Sometimes rubber belt is replaced by tissue or installed metal chain.
Direct drive of a washing machine is not in its transmission belt construction - the electric motor is installed behind the drum and spins it directly through the bearings. This type of connection simplifies the design of the washing machine.
Advantages and disadvantages
The advantages of direct drive:
- quiet operation due to ease of construction;
- do not vibrate during the spin cycle;
- longer engine life in comparison with gear drive;
- no belt increases kolichetsvo speed of the washing machine;
- direct connection of the engine and reduces energy consumption of the drum.
Disadvantages:
- high price, due to technology innovation;
- by incorrect installation rapid wear of transmission bearing;
- direct connection increases the risk of moisture penetration into the device;
- at independent repair there is a risk to damage the sealing parts;
- Connect the drum motor and directly increase the width of the washing machine, so they are not suitable for bath or kitchen with a small area.
Nuances are relevant for machines with vertical and horizontal loading.
Which drive is better
Belt mechanism - is a classic design of the washing machine, it is known for a long time and has proved its reliability and durability.
Owners of machines with non-classical design need to be prepared for additional costs for maintenance and repair of a sudden, because these models are capricious. Welcomes the use of special chemicals that soften the water - Hard water is detrimental effect on the bearings, failure of which may lead to a whole chain of failures.
Direct drive mass ispolzuevatsya not so long ago, so early to draw on the conclusions of its useful life.
Washing machine with a direct connection is selected from considerations quiet operation of the apparatus and direct drive displays excellent results in this regard.
Before you buy, you must decide what is more important: the small size of the device with a belt drive or direct drive stiralok silent operation.
Ranking of the best
No matter which drive from stiralki, all the same it is necessary to turn the selection on proven producers, they have experience in the development and implementation of technologies. Also, before you buy, you can examine the responses of experts to washing machines with direct drive.
