The driver is a key factor in determining a motor’s stall performance. Temperature can affect the stall torque of brushless DC motors. Tolerances on the motor parameters can significantly impact the ...

The tips and tricks when testing motor-driver ICs on the lab bench can help engineers reduce time spent on evaluating and prototyping motor systems. The first installment of this two-part article ...

When it’s time to specify a high-performance motor that offers both precise positioning and cost efficiency, stepper motors offer many advantages over DC motors thanks to their brushless technology.

A dynamometer is a testing device that helps engineers collect data for various mechanical loading conditions that a motor or engine might encounter in a particular application. Other than testing the ...

A special type of brushless motor is called a limited-angle torquer (LAT). LATs are constrained to produce torque through a rotation angle of less than 180°. But they are widely used to operate ...

Last spring, in response to California's recent electricity shortage, Governor Gray Davis signed a bill into law that provides financial incentives for upgrades that improve the efficiency of motor ...
