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 ...

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 ...

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.

Myriad applications require custom torque motors — including hard-machining table drives, mirror millers, and measuring and grinding machines. In fact, machine builders for these applications are now ...

Using the company’s patented Squiggle micro-motor technology, two new rotary piezoelectric motors are optimized for high torque and precision. The SQR-2.4 measures 2.4 by 2.4 mm, has a 0.10° ...

When you hear the term continuous torque, you may not realize just how crucial a role it plays in keeping operations running smoothly, creating a steady and reliable force for seamless operation of ...

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 ...

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 frameless motor is essentially the active torque and speed-producing element of a conventional motor, but without the shaft, bearings, housing, feedback or endbells. It consists of two main parts: ...

A robotic manipulator is programmable on three or more axes that specify the movements of a robot, either the robotic arms or body. These robotic manipulators are automatically controlled and ...
