Electric motors are said to consume nearly 50% of the world's electricity. Industry is focused on replacing inefficient constant-speed drives and motors with microprocessor-driven variable-speed units ...

Next is the H-bridge, which resembles an H (Figure 2), which is used typically with a brushed DC motor. In addition to run, coast, and break operating modes, it can also reverse a motor. Simplified ...

Electric motors are critical assets in many applications, so access to nameplate ratings and terminal markings can save time and money as a motor is moved in and out of service for storage, ...

SAKOR Technologies has introduced the DynoLAB LT, a low-cost, complete turnkey system for electric motor testing. DynoLAB LT offers the test control and data acquisition capabilities required for ...

This fall, the SMMA Motor & Motion College will offer three motor control courses. Topics to be covered include the Basics of Brushless DC Motors, Basic Motor Theory, Operation and Application, and ...

Stepper motors produce accurate, computer-controlled motion for applications such as robotic arms and paper-feed mechanisms for printers. They require current pulses delivered through a special ...

A synchronous and synchronous motors are the two main categories of ac motors. The induction motor is a common form of asynchronous motor and is basically an ac transformer with a rotating secondary.

There are also online training videos as well as a number of common motion control applications demonstrated.The site breaks down each example side-by-side to demonstrate the benefits of each type of ...
