A brushless-DC motor is common in ceiling fan and pan-tilt-zoom (PTZ) camera designs. But you can’t use the same brushless-DC motor solution for both of these end products. A ceiling fan driver ...

This application note discusses the advantages and benefits in using a BLDC motor to drive a DC brushed motor. For a BLDC controller that uses hall effect devices, there are six steps in the ...

With their optimised magnetic circuit and special rotor, the new brushless DC motors from Maxon deliver an impressive amount of torque. The EC-i 52 drives are considered to be high quality at an ...

Industrial applications use direct current motors because the speed-torque relationship can be varied to almost any useful form -- for both motor and regeneration applications in either direction of ...

DC Motors were king in industry up until the late 1980s; These motors were popular because they were able to run to a variable speed setpoint, and they could run at full torque from stall to base ...

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, ...

Evolution Toward Integrated Motion Control Solutions In the current landscape of global industrial automation, technical analy ...

DC machines can be classified as self-excited, separately excited, permanent magnet (PM), and brushless. Self-excited machines can be further classified as shunt, series, and compound. Compound ...

Sizing a DC motor to accurately meet a set of requirements can be a thankless task. Having to choose between brush-type or brushless motors can complicate the selection. Even experienced designers may ...
