Brushless motors are ubiquitous in RC applications and robotics, but are usually driven with low-cost motor controllers that have to be controlled with RC-style PWM signals and don’t allow for much ...

As previously mentioned, the feedback sensors include position sensors to track the rotor’s location, current sensors to measure the motor phase currents, voltage sensors to monitor the DC bus voltage ...

Motor control ICs deliver higher efficiency, along with AI/ML functionality for improvements in predictive maintenance.

Sophisticated motor control is no longer the sole province of custom hardware and proprietary control techniques. Advances in powerful, low-cost digital-signal controllers (DSCs) let designers use ...

Over three decades ago, real-time software was predominantly written in assembly language or a combination of assembly and the C programming language. Even today, certain digital signal processing ...

ECM’s 5kW Unum Potentia controller powers ultra-efficient motor systems and greater optimization in a smaller package at a fraction of the cost. NEEDHAM, Mass.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--US Electric motor ...

Speed, torque, and horsepower are three inter-related parameters in motor control. The speed of a motor, measured in revolutions per minute (rpm), defines a motor's ability to spin at a rate per unit ...

ECM PCB STATOR TECH is expanding its portfolio for manufacturers seeking to enhance their machinery’s electric power performance, introducing a fully integrated electric-motor controller it reports is ...

The topic of motors and motor control techniques is wide and varied. Part one of this two-part article will cover the principles of alternating-current (AC) motor operation and control. Part two will ...

Single-phase and 3-phase AC squirrel cage induction motors need some type of control circuit to initiate a start or stop function. The two types of ladder control circuits commonly used are the 2-wire ...

Industrial applications comprise a wide variety of tasks, each with its own motor specifications. Selecting the proper motor type and how to control its operation is crucial for maximizing performance ...
