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 ...

This application note discusses the advantages and benefits in using a BLDC motor to drive a DC brushed motor. For a BLDC controller that uses hall effect devices, there are six steps in the ...

Much has been written about the process of selecting motors for applications in motion control. Motor selection can be complicated. The decisions to be made include whether to employ brushless or ...

Reportedly, the EC-powermax 22 brushless dc motor achieves extremely high torque at slow speeds when compared to similar-sized brushless dc motors. The component is available in two lengths and ...

With their optimised magnetic circuit and special rotor, the new brushless DC motors from Maxon deliver an impressive amount of torque. The EC-i 52 drives are considered to be high quality at an ...

DC motors come in many forms, but they all have the same job: turning electrical energy (DC) into mechanical energy. Although DC motors have a common operating principle, many applications—including ...

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.

Selection of replacement motors is usually straightforward if the ratings are equivalent. Sometimes, however, a different type of motor is necessary or desirable. For success in these cases, it is ...

Pittman brush-commutated dc gearmotors from Ametek achieve output torque up to 175 oz-in. with standard sintered steel spur gearing, and output torque up to 500 oz-in. by incorporating select gear ...
