A fundamental understanding of the speed-torque curve it the key to specifying a dc motor that will do everything it needs to do. Much has been written about the process of selecting motors for ...

The broad world of DC motors is divided into two basic categories: brushed and brushless. The brushed motor has been around “forever” and while billions of such motors in use prove it can work well, ...

What Is a Brushless Motor? A brushless motor is a type of electric motor that works without brushes touching the rotor. Compared to traditional brushed motors, brushless motors last longer and are ...

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 ...

After only a few years of being completely immersed in the culture of motor drivers, it is very easy for me to take for granted the fact that most people are not familiar with electromechanical ...

A family of brush and brushless dc vibration motors are aimed at a wide range of applications. The 10-mm diameter coin-shaped devices include the brushless dc vibration motors: the LBV10L at 3.4 mm (0 ...

Consumer Reports has no financial relationship with advertisers on this site. Cordless drills with brushless motors came on the scene just within the last decade and quickly gained ground on ...

When choosing a DC motor system for your specific application, several aspects have to be considered prior to deciding to choose a brushed or brushless DC motor, such as: Once these factors have been ...

A motor — or a generator — requires some normal magnets and some electromagnets. The usual arrangement is to have a brushed commutator that both powers the electromagnets and switches their polarity ...

The digital servo control of the 5C indexer supports brush and brushless-motor indexers from Hardinge and other manufacturers. The control has an intelligent power module that operates coolly and ...
