The circuit illustrates the operation of solid state switches as it controls the movement and the direction of the motor as denoted by the LED. DC Motor – a single coil apparatus used to convert ...

Motors are everywhere—from air conditioners and vacuum cleaners to power tools and industrial equipment. As globalisation and urban infrastructure advance, ...

High-performance motors need a control mechanism that ensures enhanced smoothness, reliability, and efficiency. One of the most apt examples of such an application is the motor used in ...

Brushless DC (BLDC) motors are standard fare in low-precision, speedy RC applications. The control schemes needed to run them slowly or precisely go deep into motor theory and might put these motors ...

NXP’s latest motor-control microcontrollers usher in a new level of performance for automotive/industrial BLDC, PMSM, and other electric motors. A new family of motor-control MCUs from NXP ...

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 ...

Maxon’s new Escon 2 controller for brushed DC and brushless DC motors up to 1,800W continuous duty features field-oriented control (FOC), acceleration and velocity feed-forward capabilities. This ...

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 ...

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 ...
