Brushless-dc motors are taking center stage in medical-equipment design because they last twice as long a competing technologies. • Sensorless brushless-dc-drives have evolved to a point where they ...

By maxon The new 22mm diameter BLDC motor in maxon’s ECX PRIME series increases nominal torque to 69.1mNm with high-speed ...

When Faraday demonstrated his early electric motors to royalty and aristocracy, the reaction was one of amusement. One nobleman even commented that it was an amusing novelty, but he didn’t see any ...

A brushless DC (BLDC) electric motor is likened to a motor with brushes, but turned “inside-out.” A BLDC motor has a rotor with permanent magnets and the stator contains the windings. Older motors ...

Despite their superior qualities, brushless motors still run second to brush types in motion-control applications. Brushless systems are usually preferred, however, where their benefits outweigh their ...

There are trade-offs between brushed and brushless motors, considering factors such as maintenance, efficiency and upfront costs, Control Design writes. For automation engineers, the evolving ...

AC induction motors are everywhere, from ceiling fans to vehicles. They’re reliable, simple, and rugged — but there are some disadvantages. It’s difficult to control the speed ...

Building electronics with 3D printers is something we see hitting the tip line from time to time, but usually these are printed circuits, not electromechanical parts like motors, solenoids, and relays ...

ServoTek Products Inc. announced the successful application of its TachSyn Series brushless DC tachometer/commutator within industrial motor speed monitoring applications. The high-accuracy TachSyn ...

Replacing mechanically driven motors with electrically commutated solutions doesn’t come without specific design considerations. In the automotive sector, the use of electric motors in applications ...
