Exploring the complexities of motor selection for custom machines in consumer-packaged goods manufacturing. There are trade-offs between brushed and brushless motors, considering factors such as ...

A fundamental understanding of the speed-torque curve it the key to specifying a dc motor that will do everything it needs to do. Much has been written about the process of selecting motors for ...

The broad world of DC motors is divided into two basic categories: brushed and brushless. The brushed motor has been around “forever” and while billions of such motors in use prove it can work well, ...

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 ...

A brushless-DC motor is common in ceiling fan and pan-tilt-zoom (PTZ) camera designs. But you can’t use the same brushless-DC motor solution for both of these end products. A ceiling fan driver ...

A family of brush and brushless dc vibration motors are aimed at a wide range of applications. The 10-mm diameter coin-shaped devices include the brushless dc vibration motors: the LBV10L at 3.4 mm (0 ...

Maxon has introduced a controller board for brushed DC and brush-less dc motors up to 1,800W (30A) continuous duty and 3,600W (60A) peak, designed for integrating inside products. Operation is across ...

In the world of power tools, brushless motors are all the rage. While the technology isn't exactly new, it has gained traction in recent years due to some high-profile releases by Makita, Milwaukee, ...

Running a brushed motor in muddy or dusty environments takes a toll on controllers, with both heavy back EMF and high stall currents. This explains one of the challenge in Europe’s Hacky Racer series, ...
