Out of the total energy used in the U.S. in a day, a large portion goes to motors. Electric motors in everything from escalators to air conditioners to production machinery consume a tremendous amount ...

Motors are everywhere—from air conditioners and vacuum cleaners to power tools and industrial equipment. As globalisation and urban infrastructure advance, ...

Just as fractional horsepower gearmotors freed factories in the 1920s from their cumbersome, inefficient, and unreliable overhead “networks” of shafts and pulleys connected by leather belts, today’s ...

As previously mentioned, the feedback sensors include position sensors to track the rotor’s location, current sensors to measure the motor phase currents, voltage sensors to monitor the DC bus voltage ...

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

Speed, torque, and horsepower are three inter-related parameters in motor control. The speed of a motor, measured in revolutions per minute (rpm), defines a motor's ability to spin at a rate per unit ...

The topic of motors and motor control techniques is wide and varied. Part one of this two-part article will cover the principles of alternating-current (AC) motor operation and control. Part two will ...

NXP’s latest motor-control microcontrollers usher in a new level of performance for automotive/industrial BLDC, PMSM, and other electric motors. A new family of motor-control MCUs from NXP ...

The company's Pacesetter family of right angle, ac-inverter duty motors, gear motors, and ac variable-speed controls offer new motor and gear-head combinations, promising maximum output power in the ...

Designing robots requires precision and flexibility. When creating a humanoid robot system, there are mechanical and electrical considerations that you need to understand before beginning the actual ...

Sophisticated motor control is no longer the sole province of custom hardware and proprietary control techniques. Advances in powerful, low-cost digital-signal controllers (DSCs) let designers use ...

Note: This specialization requires purchase of a hardware kit in order to apply your knowledge and skill with real world tools. The hardware will be used to complete the lab exercises across the four ...
