A fundamental understanding of the speed-torque curve it the key to specifying a dc motor that will do everything it needs to do. Much has been written about the process of selecting motors for ...

What Is a Brushless Motor? A brushless motor is a type of electric motor that works without brushes touching the rotor. Compared to traditional brushed motors, brushless motors last longer and are ...

There are trade-offs between brushed and brushless motors, considering factors such as maintenance, efficiency and upfront costs, Control Design writes. For automation engineers, the evolving ...

A family of brush and brushless dc vibration motors are aimed at a wide range of applications. The 10-mm diameter coin-shaped devices include the brushless dc vibration motors: the LBV10L at 3.4 mm (0 ...

Consumer Reports has no financial relationship with advertisers on this site. Cordless drills with brushless motors came on the scene just within the last decade and quickly gained ground on ...

Brush and brushless motor technologies are both applicable in today’s motion control market. Selection depends on many factors and how they affect the goals of the designer. This paper discusses the ...

Cirrus Logic has introduced two PWM ICs – the SA306-IHZ and SA57-IHZ – targeted at fractional-horsepower DC motor drives. Offered as the industry's highest-current such devices, the ICs can deliver up ...

The digital servo control of the 5C indexer supports brush and brushless-motor indexers from Hardinge and other manufacturers. The control has an intelligent power module that operates coolly and ...

A motor — or a generator — requires some normal magnets and some electromagnets. The usual arrangement is to have a brushed commutator that both powers the electromagnets and switches their polarity ...

Why there’s a continuing role for brushed DC motors. The multitude of small-motor applications for autos. How motor drivers can enhance performance and connectivity. It’s easy to assume that brushed ...
