DC motors come in many forms, but they all have the same job: turning electrical energy (DC) into mechanical energy. Although DC motors have a common operating principle, many applications—including ...

DC motors may not be the wave of the future, but they certainly have a secure place in today’s workplace (see DC Isn’t Dead). Therefore, it’s worthwhile for electrical professionals to take a look at ...

Specifics about high-power-density motors (HPDMs). Applications best served with HPDMs. Why BLDCs are perhaps the most preferred among HPDM architectures. High power density is an important ...

DC machines can be classified as self-excited, separately excited, permanent magnet (PM), and brushless. Self-excited machines can be further classified as shunt, series, and compound. Compound ...

The motor and motor control markets are thriving in a number of areas, particularly medical and robotic applications. Also, there is a rich demand for small, efficient, high- and low-torque, and high- ...

Many applications using miniature brushed DC motors require motors to operate at more than one load point or through specific load cycles. Running a motor at usable load points requires a variable, ...

The Arduino Opta micro programmable logic controller (PLC) provides a unique entry point into the automation field. Automation fields like smart homes, process controls, and robotics are project areas ...
