I recently ran into an interesting dilemma while running tests on TI’s new InstaSPIN™-FOC sensorless motor control software. “How do you define motor torque?” On the surface, this sounds like an easy ...

The name of the game is acceleration at the wheels. Not motor torque. It’s common practice for EV producers to report the torque of the car’s electric motor. But Peter Rawlinson, Lucid’s chief ...

Selecting a motor for a specific application can be a challenging task. Many factors must be considered, including the application’s required voltage, maximum current and diameter, speed, efficiency, ...

When it’s time to specify a high-performance motor that offers both precise positioning and cost efficiency, stepper motors offer many advantages over DC motors thanks to their brushless technology.

All the motors produce either interaction torque, reluctance torque or a combination of both. The second article in this series discussed the underlying principles common to all motors. As we have ...

Most known for their versatility, electric motors have revolutionised the way we view the core definition of power, qualifying it as effective energy expenditure concerning work done over time. Among ...

In a recent article, I wrote about step-motor system performance emphasizing key concepts that all engineers need to understand about this widely-used electro-magnetic-mechanical digital actuator. As ...

Without getting into a long-winded dissertation about torque, we're going to suggest that you dig through your old copies of HOT ROD Magazine and familiarize yourself with the relationship between ...

The LS engine remains the darling of the performance world, but does that mean all LS owners are looking for the same thing when it comes time for upgrades? Obviously not, or every LS story would be ...

Salvaging a beefy motor is one life’s greatest pleasures for a hacker, but, when it comes to using it in a new project, the lack of specs and documentation can be frustrating. [The Post Apocalyptic ...

SCHAUMBURG, Ill.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--In order to greatly simplify the implementation of liquid cooling with torque motors and ease the mounting into direct drive machine applications, ETEL announces ...

Myriad applications require custom torque motors — including hard-machining table drives, mirror millers, and measuring and grinding machines. In fact, machine builders for these applications are now ...
