Building an electric motor from a coil of wire, some magnets, and some paper clips is a rite of passage for many budding science buffs. These motors are simple brushed motors. That is, the ...

Driven by variable-frequency drives, the Gen2.0 PremiumPlus+™ brushless permanent magnet motors have motor-only rated point efficiencies of 93 percent and 92 percent for 3- and 5-hp versions ...

After only a few years of being completely immersed in the culture of motor drivers, it is very easy for me to take for granted the fact that most people are not familiar with electromechanical ...

Brushless motors offer greater efficiency, durability, and speed control compared to brushed motors used in pump systems.

Not satisfied with the specs of off-the-shelf brushless DC motors? Looking to up the difficulty level on your next quadcopter build? Or perhaps you just define “DIY” as rigorously as possible? If any ...

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 ...

Brushless motor technology has been around for a gizmillion years. The motor technology is simpler than a brush type and is more reliable, with no brushes to wear out. Best of all, the motors can be ...

A special type of brushless motor is called a limited-angle torquer (LAT). LATs are constrained to produce torque through a rotation angle of less than 180°. But they are widely used to operate ...

Having reviewed the basics of BLDC motor control in Part 1, the design effort canbegin.. The first quest is to select a microcontroller. Looking in themarketplace there are several microcontrollers ...

New bow-mount electric trolling motors for boating anglers continue to push the envelope of technology, efficiency, stealth, corrosion resistance and integration with onboard electronics. In July 2023 ...
