Sizing a DC motor to accurately meet a set of requirements can be a thankless task. Sizing a DC motor to accurately meet a set of requirements can be a thankless task. Having to choose between ...

DC Motors were king in industry up until the late 1980s; These motors were popular because they were able to run to a variable speed setpoint, and they could run at full torque from stall to base ...

The next-generation motor speed controller in the 2009 FIRST Robotics Competition official Kit of Parts is now available either as a module or associated reference design kit. Based on the Stellaris ...

Specifics about high-power-density motors (HPDMs). Applications best served with HPDMs. Why BLDCs are perhaps the most preferred among HPDM architectures. High power density is an important ...

Electric motors can be found in most types of machinery. Here we examine some of the common myths about their selection, operation, and future. The purpose of an electric motor is to convert ...

Selecting a motor for a specific application can be a challenging task. Many factors must be considered, including the application’s required voltage, maximum current and diameter, speed, efficiency, ...

We often think of the electric light as being the “killer app” for electricity. Sure, the telegraph was also fairly important, but it didn’t enter every home the way the electric light did -- not ...

Industrial applications use direct current motors because the speed-torque relationship can be varied to almost any useful form -- for both motor and regeneration applications in either direction of ...
