Motors and drives are where the action is. They convert electrical power into the torque and speed necessary to keep industry turning. The editors of Motion System Design conducted a survey among ...

MIT researchers have developed a multi-material 3D-printing platform that can be used to fully print electric machines in a ...

A broken motor in an automated machine can bring production on a busy factory floor to a halt. If engineers can't find a ...

Electric motors, both ac and dc types, come in many shapes and sizes. Some are standardized versions for general-purpose applications. Others are intended for specific tasks. In any case, motors ...

Lexium MDrive integrated motor systems expand industrial field bus communication options with the release of CANopen with M12 circular connectors on NEMA motor sizes 23 & 34. The robust package of ...

Rivian provided flights from Albany, New York, to Reno, Nevada, and accommodation so Ars could drive the quad-motor R1s. Ars does not accept paid editorial content. It’s getting harder to find ...

How the switched reluctance motor's (SRM) architecture eliminates the need for magnets and rotor windings. Why SRMs are some of the most rugged and cost-effective motor technologies available. A look ...

This application note describes the Zilog Motor Control Technologies presenting the motor control strategies, the control strategy by motor type, as well as the Open- vs. Closed-loop speed control and ...

A testing machine can be used to push, pull or twist a sample of the material in order to determine the mechanical properties of a material. Many materials are strain rate sensitive which means that ...
