With the electric vehicle (EV) market heating up and due to become ever hotter, there’s a lot of focus on the key components that go into this major evolution of transportation technologies. Batteries ...

Most known for their versatility, electric motors have revolutionised the way we view the core definition of power, qualifying it as effective energy expenditure concerning work done over time. Among ...

With its Hunstable Electric Turbine, Linear Labs promises three times the torque, twice the power and a 10% increase in range in an electric vehicle over a typical permanent magnet motor. One problem ...

The running joke in the Hunstable family was that Fred Hunstable never knew that garages were where you parked your cars. Instead, they served as places for the nuclear and electrical engineer to ...

While local suppliers tend to dominate in Japan and Korea, the market in China has been open to international diversity, but Chinese suppliers are beginning to get a stronger hold. Linear and torque ...

One of the most important choices engineers make while developing new platforms for machine tools is deciding which type of motor to use. Direct drive motors have always been seen as a technological ...

Precision automation systems and instrumentation equipment manufacturers depend on motion components in applications from micro-mechanical assembly to optical scanning. PI offers a wide range of ...

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 ...

Linear motion is central to many moving machines, and the direct-drive nature of linear motors can simplify overall machine design in these applications. Other benefits include improved stiffness, ...

Electric motors consume almost half of the electricity produced worldwide. They, in fact, provide the necessary driving force for much of today’s equipment. Motors, pumps, and fans are present in an ...

This application note describes how to implement an exact linear speed controller for stepper motors. The stepper motor is an electromagnetic device that converts digital pulses into mechanical shaft ...
