I recently ran into an interesting dilemma while running tests on TI’s new InstaSPIN™-FOC sensorless motor control software. “How do you define motor torque?” On the surface, this sounds like an easy ...

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 ...

Motors are everywhere—from air conditioners and vacuum cleaners to power tools and industrial equipment. As globalisation and ...

Electric motors, which convert electrical energy into mechanical energy, play an essential role in a variety of industrial and robotics applications. Given that electric motors account for ...

Electric clutches may not be always the engineer’s first choice when looking at torque-control solutions. Electric motor drive systems, pneumatic clutches, or even friction spring types are thought of ...

Step motors provide accurate position control without the need for feedback, traditionally in open-loop control schemes. A stepper motor’s shaft normally makes discrete angular movements of ...

Speed, torque, and horsepower are three inter-related parameters in motor control. The speed of a motor, measured in revolutions per minute (rpm), defines a motor's ability to spin at a rate per unit ...

The new Audi RS 5 is such a technological showcase it should come with the iconic ‘Vorsprung durch Technik’ advertising ...
