Brushless-dc motors are taking center stage in medical-equipment design because they last twice as long a competing technologies. • Sensorless brushless-dc-drives have evolved to a point where they ...

Sizing a DC motor to accurately meet a set of requirements can be a thankless task. Having to choose between brush-type or brushless motors can complicate the selection. Even experienced designers may ...

A brushless-DC motor is common in ceiling fan and pan-tilt-zoom (PTZ) camera designs. But you can’t use the same brushless-DC motor solution for both of these end products. A ceiling fan driver ...

There are trade-offs between brushed and brushless motors, considering factors such as maintenance, efficiency and upfront costs, Control Design writes. For automation engineers, the evolving ...

NXP’s latest motor-control microcontrollers usher in a new level of performance for automotive/industrial BLDC, PMSM, and other electric motors. A new family of motor-control MCUs from NXP ...

Not satisfied with the specs of off-the-shelf brushless DC motors? Looking to up the difficulty level on your next quadcopter build? Or perhaps you just define “DIY” as rigorously as possible? If any ...

The trend in the automotive industry is to replace mechanically actuated systems with systems based on electric motor technology. The traditional brushed dc motor is not suitable for many of these ...

In this article, I’ll dig into a couple of things you need to know when it comes to using salvaged hard disc drive spindle motors. Most electronics hobbyists think that such hard disc drive spindle ...

Maxon introduces HEJ 70-48-50 drive, designed for autonomous mobile robots in unstructured environments. With peak torque of 50 Nm and speeds up to 28 rad/s, it maintains a mass... Maxon's new IDX ...
