Cheap, brushless motors may be the workhorses behind our RC planes and quadcopters these days, but we’ve never seen them in any application that requires low-speed precision. Why? Sadly, cheap ...

We review Moza’s new R21 Ultra wheelbase, which outputs an impressive 21 Nm of torque at an affordable $699 price point. Moza ...

Almost two years ago, a research team showed that it was possible to get fine motor control from cheap, brushless DC motors. Normally this is not feasible because the motors are built-in such a way ...

An adaptive algorithm kills jerky motions in motors. High-performance motion-control applications commonly use three-phase permanent-magnet synchronous motors, popularly known as brushless motors.

BEDFORD, Mass.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Celera Motion, a leader in precision motion component and sub-system solutions and a business unit of Novanta Corporation introduces a new direct drive motor platform, ...

Thermal efficiency, defined as the motor's power output for a given temperature rise, is an important factor in brushless motor performance. A more thermally efficient motor not only wastes less input ...

The LO-COG Series 8690 of 26-mm brush-commutated DC motors are available in 1.798'', 1.923'' and 2.173'' lengths and provide continuous torque output up to 3.17 oz.-in., peak torque up to 20 oz.-in., ...

Slotted linear motors move with speed and precision, and are raising the bar on linear motion applications. They consist basically of magnets and windings. The magnets bond to an iron plate, forming a ...

NUM’s new TMX series direct drive motors have an extremely low cogging torque, making them suitable for applications that demand very smooth and accurate rotation, especially at low speeds. Typical ...

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 ...
