In a recent article, I wrote about step-motor system performance emphasizing key concepts that all engineers need to understand about this widely-used electro-magnetic-mechanical digital actuator. As ...

All the motors produce either interaction torque, reluctance torque or a combination of both. The second article in this series discussed the underlying principles common to all motors. As we have ...

Without getting into a long-winded dissertation about torque, we're going to suggest that you dig through your old copies of HOT ROD Magazine and familiarize yourself with the relationship between ...

Torque ripple reduction in brushless DC motors is a subject of intense study due to its significance in enhancing the performance, efficiency and longevity of motor drive systems across various ...

Servomotors are particularly suitable for use in robotics and automation systems, such as stepper motors. They are used to obtain precise angular movements using a single connection toward the logic ...

This is the second half of a two-part article discussing principles and application of the AC induction motors that provide motive power for most of the equipment HVACR engineers specify. In March, we ...

Design engineers know that both brush DC and brushless DC (BLDC) motors can operate as generators, but many tend to avoid running brushed DC motors in generating mode because they believe it is ...
