Almost two years ago, a research team showed that it was possible to get fine motor control from cheap, brushless DC motors. Normally this is not feasible because the motors are built-in such a way ...

Cheap, brushless motors may be the workhorses behind our RC planes and quadcopters these days, but we’ve never seen them in any application that requires low-speed precision. Why? Sadly, cheap ...

An adaptive algorithm kills jerky motions in motors. High-performance motion-control applications commonly use three-phase permanent-magnet synchronous motors, popularly known as brushless motors.

BEDFORD, Mass.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Celera Motion, a leader in precision motion component and sub-system solutions and a business unit of Novanta Corporation introduces a new direct drive motor platform, ...

Thermal efficiency, defined as the motor's power output for a given temperature rise, is an important factor in brushless motor performance. A more thermally efficient motor not only wastes less input ...

The Pittman Series 14000 brush-commutated dc motors/gearmotors feature 11-slot skewed armatures that minimize cogging. Available in seven lengths, the motors achieve torque up to 410 oz-in. and speeds ...

Magnetic brakes have suffered from hysteresis, cogging, and low-power output for over 30 years. And they have lacked linearity, so users had to more than double Magnetic brakes have suffered from ...

Designed for applications that are sensitive to torque ripple, the 000308-02 low cogging, brushless-dc kit motor promises smooth running characteristics that are desirable for high-resolution printing ...

A dynamometer is a testing device that helps engineers collect data for various mechanical loading conditions that a motor or engine might encounter in a particular application. Other than testing the ...
