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 ...

Not all motors provide the same benefit. Discover the differences between the two primary DC motor technologies in this comprehensive white paper. The goal is for our readers to gain a better ...

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 ...

Children may be particularly vulnerable to the emission of ultrafine particles of heavy metal in the home, the researchers warned.

A big part of the Hackaday Prize this year is robotics modules, and already we’ve seen a lot of projects adding intelligence to motors. Whether that’s current sensing, RPM feedback, PID control, or ...

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 ...

Indoor air quality has become an urgent concern in recent times, as we spend a considerable amount of time inside our home.

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 ...
