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 ...

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 ...

Using pulse outputs from a PLC is a cost-effective way to get simple motion. Most, if not all, PLC manufacturers provide a way to control servos and steppers using a pulse train signal. So when a ...

In this episode of Miles on Motion, Miles Budimir, Motion Control Tips Editor, covers the basics of the motor – drive connection and looks at drive profiles, torque, velocity, position and AC & DC ...

Monitoring takes the form of sensors and intelligent devices connected to a digital processor. These monitored values are used for computing and then controlling some sort of real-world action. Many ...

The design of different three-phase brushless DC motors and how they generate torque. How magnetics, construction, and other factors impact torque, speed, and smoothness in BLDC motors. General ...
