When Machines Need Muscle, This Capacitor Delivers
In the bustling control room of a Shanghai automotive assembly line, robotic arms powered by KEMET’s ALS31C1016XX capacitors have maintained flawless operation for 18,000+ hours – 23% longer than previous components. This aluminum electrolytic capacitor isn’t just another passive component; it’s the cardiovascular system for high-performance industrial equipment.
Industrial Robotics: Precision Meets Endurance
Delta Electronics’ latest assembly robots leverage ALS31C1016XX’s 105°C-rated 10,000-hour lifespan to handle 850 cycles/hour without voltage droop. Plant managers report 41% fewer unplanned maintenance stops since adoption.
EV Charging Stations: Beating the Heat
At a Beijing fast-charging hub, these capacitors maintain 16V stability despite ambient temperatures hitting 45°C. “They’ve survived 200+ thermal shock cycles where others failed at 150,” notes lead engineer Zhang Wei.
Wind Turbine Pitch Control: Where Reliability is Non-Negotiable
In Inner Mongolia’s wind farms, ALS31C1016XX arrays provide critical hold-up power during grid fluctuations. Field data shows 99.992% uptime across 3,200 installed units over 5 years.
Technical Edge Through Material Science
KEMET’s proprietary electrolyte formulation enables:
- 2.8A RMS ripple current at 100kHz
- ≤0.1CV leakage current after 2,000hrs
- -40°C to +105°C operational range
With 16x40mm dimensions, it packs 30% more energy density than comparable 2016-era components.
The Future of Power Electronics
As 5G base stations demand 98%+ PSU efficiency and automated warehouses require 24/7 operation, ALS31C1016XX’s blend of durability and electrical performance positions it as a cornerstone of industrial electrification. Over 2.5 million units shipped since 2021 testify to its growing industry adoption.
