Brushless Direct Current (BLDC) motors are gaining in popularity and market acceptance. BLDC motors are used in industries such as Industrial Automation Equipment, Consumer, Medical, Automotive, ...

A Coreless rotor means there’s no cogging or preferred rotor position. It has an extremely low current consumption, starting voltage and rotor inertia for extremely fast acceleration and braking. It ...

Much has been written about the process of selecting motors for applications in motion control. Motor selection can be complicated. The decisions to be made include whether to employ brushless or ...

DC motors may not be the wave of the future, but they certainly have a secure place in today’s workplace (see DC Isn’t Dead). Therefore, it’s worthwhile for electrical professionals to take a look at ...

Featuring low power loss and high reliability, voltage source converter medium voltage direct current (VSC-MVDC) systems have been widely employed for grid-tied renewable energy applications. To ...

CUI Inc. has announced an addition to its next-generation modular encoder series that generates standard U/V/W commutation signals for vectoring current to brushless motors. Positional information for ...

Sizing a DC motor to accurately meet a set of requirements can be a thankless task. Having to choose between brush-type or brushless motors can complicate the selection. Even experienced designers may ...

The first type of motor built is still in widespread use In the late 1800s, several inventors built the first working motors, which used direct current (DC) power. After the invention of the induction ...

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- ...

I am trying to reduce the electrical noise from a 12V 5A brushed dc motor, driven via a pulse width modulator. Much as I would have fun trying various configurations, I would also like to get the ...
