STMicroelectronics Announces Spin-off to End at 4 Years

On March 18th, Beijing time, according to Bloomberg News, STMicroelectronics and Ericsson today agreed to spin off this unprofitable joint venture company because they failed to find a buyer for the joint venture company.

In a statement, the two parties stated that Ericsson plans to undertake 1,800 employees and contractors from Sweden, Germany, India, China and other countries and will continue to develop modem technology for Ericsson Ericsson. STMicroelectronics will undertake the existing products of STMicroelectronics and 950 employees, mainly located in France and Italy, so the cost incurred will reach up to 450 million US dollars.

STMicroelectronics ’main mobile phone chip business has accumulated a net loss of $ 2.7 billion since 2009. ST and Ericsson each hold 50% of the company's shares, and after seeking three months to fail to find a buyer, the two companies made the decision.

As the main customer Nokia's low-end mobile phone business shrank, ST-Ericsson has been working hard to launch high-performance chipsets and platforms. ST Ericsson currently has 5,000 employees. Reassigning these employees to the parent company will help reduce the number of layoffs in the joint venture because some European governments are opposed to layoffs.

Features:Lock motor is based on micro precision reducer development, small intelligent micro precision reducer can do 10 mm in diameter, is widely used in safe, locks, smart locks, sensor intelligent lock;

This kind of motor has the characteristics of low noise, low energy consumption, small volume, light quality, high precision, large torque and durability

Method of use: the best stable in horizontal plane, installed on the lock motor output shaft parts, cannot use a hammer to knock, knock prone to press into the dc  lock motor  drive, may cause damage to internal components, and cannot be used in the case of blocked.

Lock motor

Operating temperature range:

 lock motor should be used at a temperature of -10~60℃.

The figures stated in the catalog specifications are based on use at  ordinary room temperature catalog specifications re based on use at ordinary room temperature  (approximately20~25℃.

If a  lock motor  is used outside the prescribed temperature range,the grease on the gearhead area will become unable to function normally and the motor will become unable to start.Depending on the temperature conditions ,it may be possible to deal with them by changing the grease of the motor's parts.Please feel free to consult with us about this.


Storage temperature range:

 lock motor  should be stored ta a temperature of -15~65℃.

In case of storage outside this range,the grease on the gearhead area will become unable to function normally and the motor will become unable to start.


Service life:

The longevity of  lock motor  is greatly affected by the load conditions , the mode of operation,the environment of use ,etc.Therefore,it is necessary to check the conditions under which the product will actually be used .The following conditions will have a negative effect on longevity.Please consult with us should any of them apply.



●Use with a load that exceeds the rated torque

●Frequent starting

●Momentary reversals of turning direction

●Impact loads

●Long-term continuous operation

●Forced turning using the output shaft

●Use in which the permitted overhang load or the permitted thrust load is exceeded

●A pulse drive ,e.g.,a short break,counter electromotive force,PWM control

●Use of a voltage that is nonstandard as regards the rated voltage

●Use outside the prescribed temperature or relative-humidity range,or in a special environment.

●Please consult with us about these or any other conditions of use that may apply,so that we can be sure that you select the most appropriate model.
