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 ...

As machine builders push for higher throughput, tighter control accuracy, and smaller footprints, the selection of servo ...

This document written by Steve Bowling, Application Segments Engineer at Microchip Technology, discusses how motor works and describes the AC induction motor, variable-speed ACIM control, and FOC.

Small and medium AC induction motors account for more than 75% of motor electrical energy demand; however, they typically receive less maintenance than their larger counterparts. This leaves them ...

Electrical equipment often has at least one motor used to rotate or displace an object from its initial position. There are a variety of motor types available in the market, including induction motors ...

Early incarnations of the electric motor first appeared in the 1740s through the work of Scottish Benedictine monk and scientist, Andrew Gordon. Other scientists such as Michael Faraday and Joseph ...

How many times have you heard that a crankshaft, connecting rod, or even forged piston is good for 13 psi of boost? On the surface, this seems reasonable, but the reality is that boost is far from ...

The case of a pulsating-load testing machine shows how to ballpark qualities that are important for deploying electric motors. Crankshafts in running internal-combustion engines pulsate as well as ...

This file type includes high resolution graphics and schematics when applicable. Motors are rated by the output power they can produce over a given time period without overheating. These ratings are ...
