Oriental Motors has introduced sinewave drive vector controllers for its 30 and 50W brushless dc motors, improving speed tracking, reducing audible noise, increasing peak torque (15% for 30W types and ...

The motor and motor control markets are thriving in a number of areas, particularly medical and robotic applications. Also, there is a rich demand for small, efficient, high- and low-torque, and high- ...

For motor applications, engineers have several options at their disposal. Typically, engineers can choose between direct-current (DC) or alternating-current (AC) motors. Machine Design has covered the ...

The tips and tricks when testing motor-driver ICs on the lab bench can help engineers reduce time spent on evaluating and prototyping motor systems. The first installment of this two-part article ...

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 ...

Brush dc motors are inexpensive and easy to operate, providing a good balance of performance and price. As a result, billions are manufactured annually worldwide and used in such industries as ...

“HW-687 is one easy module for adding speed regulation to your next DC motor-based project. It is a simple pulse-width–modulated speed controller providing smooth control with almost no jerks. There ...
