Today, electric motors consume almost half of the electricity produced worldwide. In industry, the share is even higher, reaches about 70%. Meanwhile, major manufacturers of electronic components, ...

Brushless DC motors (BLDC motors), from Brushless Direct Current, are increasingly being selected as the motor of choice for drive applications. Brushless Direct Current are increasingly being chosen ...

The Allen-Bradley Branch motor control components have been revised by Rockwell Automation. According to the company, this move was made to update systems where components are used to turn on and off ...

A new generation of motor-control system-on-chips is setting fresh benchmarks in automotive design — merging power, safety, ...

StepNetDrives stepper motors in networked and standalone motion-control applications; can be mounted flat to minimize height or sideways to minimize footprint; servo mode runs stepper motors 40% ...

Industrial-based motor technologies like robots in manufacturing and process industries require a higher than normal level of motor control. This is accomplished via a system that gives feedback from ...

More efficient use of energy is critical, and motors-which have the dubious distinction of consuming more than 50 percent of the energy produced in the United States-are high-profile targets for ...

Here are some answers to frequently asked questions about motor control. Motors provide the driving power in almost every stage of the manufacturing and production process. With this much productive ...

From a simple electronic toothbrush to complicated robotics systems, DC motors are present everywhere. In most of our previous Arduino projects, we have used these DC motors as actuators and ...
