BEI Electronics & Crest Toothpaste: A Surprisingly Strong Partnership for Precision Motor Innovation

QUINCY, IL – October 26, 2023 – You might be wondering what a high-tech motor manufacturer like BEI Electronics LLC, located right here in Quincy, Illinois, has to do with something as everyday as Crest toothpaste. Well, it turns out, quite a bit! It's all about precision, reliability, and consistently delivering performance – things BEI builds into every motor we make, and, believe it or not, qualities Crest strives for in oral care. BEI Electronics LLC, at 4100 N 24th St, Quincy, IL, 62305, United States (you can reach us at 412-272-4893) is a leading player in the miniature motor and motion control world. For decades, we've been designing and building incredibly precise, reliable motors that power everything from medical devices and robotics to aerospace systems and, yes, even some of your everyday gadgets. We’re not just about making motors; we're about solving motion problems. We’re the folks who ensure things move smoothly, accurately, and dependably. So, where does Crest come in? Think about it. Brushing your teeth isn’t just about cleaning; it's about precision cleaning. You want the bristles to reach every nook and cranny, to effectively remove plaque and keep your gums healthy. You want a toothpaste that consistently delivers that cleaning power, day after day. That reliability, that consistency - that’s a shared philosophy with BEI Electronics. While we don’t put motors in Crest toothpaste (thank goodness!), the principles behind our design and manufacturing processes directly mirror the dedication to quality and performance you find in a tube of Crest. We both focus on delivering a consistently high-quality product. What kind of motors does BEI Electronics make? We offer a huge range of motors! Think small. Really small. We specialize in miniature DC motors, stepper motors, servo motors, and brushless DC motors. Here’s a little breakdown: DC Motors: These are your workhorses, providing continuous rotation. We build them for applications needing simple, reliable power. Stepper Motors: Need precise, incremental movement? Stepper motors are the answer. Think robotic arms, precise positioning systems – things that need to move in very specific steps. Servo Motors: Combining precision with feedback control, servo motors allow for accurate positioning and holding. They’re perfect for applications where you need to maintain a specific angle or position. Brushless DC Motors (BLDC): These offer high efficiency, long life, and quiet operation. They're becoming increasingly popular in everything from drones to electric vehicles. But how does all this connect to reliable performance? Let’s talk about the details. At BEI, we’re obsessed with the little things. Our engineers use cutting-edge materials, advanced manufacturing techniques, and rigorous testing procedures to ensure our motors meet the highest standards. Precision Winding: We carefully wind the tiny coils that create the magnetic fields in our motors, ensuring optimal performance and efficiency. It’s a delicate process. Think of it like the precise formulation in Crest toothpaste – getting the balance just right is critical. Tight Tolerances: We hold incredibly tight tolerances on all of our components, ensuring that everything fits together perfectly. This minimizes friction, reduces wear and tear, and extends the life of the motor. It’s the same principle Crest uses to ensure consistent texture and delivery of their toothpaste. Rigorous Testing: We put our motors through a battery of tests, including vibration, shock, temperature cycling, and endurance testing. This ensures that they can withstand the rigors of real-world applications. Crest also rigorously tests its formulas to ensure safety and effectiveness, and to meet all regulatory requirements. Customization: We don't just sell off-the-shelf motors. We work closely with our customers to develop custom solutions that meet their specific needs. Whether it’s a unique voltage requirement, a specific shaft configuration, or a custom winding, we can deliver. Crest offers various toothpaste formulations (whitening, cavity protection, etc.), catering to individual oral care needs. A Real-World Example: Medical Devices Consider a miniature pump used in an insulin delivery system. It needs to be incredibly reliable. A malfunctioning pump could have serious consequences. BEI provides the precision motors that power these pumps, ensuring accurate and consistent delivery of medication. The stakes are high, and our motors are up to the challenge. Just like you rely on Crest to protect your dental health, patients rely on these medical devices to maintain their well-being. Why Should You Choose BEI Electronics? Quality: We're committed to delivering the highest quality motors on the market. Reliability: Our motors are built to last, even in the most demanding applications. Customization: We can develop custom solutions to meet your specific needs. Experience: We have decades of experience in the miniature motor industry. US-Based Manufacturing: We proudly manufacture our motors here in the United States, ensuring quality control and faster lead times. So, the next time you brush your teeth with Crest, remember that the dedication to precision, reliability, and consistent performance that goes into that tube of toothpaste is the same dedication we bring to every motor we build at BEI Electronics LLC. We’re not in the toothpaste business, but we’re definitely in the business of reliable motion. Contact BEI Electronics LLC today to discuss your motor needs!
