The AC induction motor is often referred to as the workhorse of the industry because it offers users simple, rugged construction, easy maintenance, and cost-effective pricing. These factors have ...

When specifying, start by determining the required torque at the gearbox output shaft. A gearmotor's purpose is to act as a power transmission component. As such, the two most important factors at the ...

When powering AC motors, the electrical supply can be at full power to run at full speed or at variable power to run at variable speed. Applications with varying loads benefit from the variable speed ...

In 1965, Shelby unveiled the 427 Cobra, which was derived from the AC Ace, a car that had previously been fitted with ...

At Agritechnica, Danfoss Power Solutions has launched its Editron EM-PMI180 low-voltage electric motor. The 48-volt ...

Single- and three-phase alternating current (AC) motor speed can be controlled by controlling the frequency of the voltage coming to it. Motor speed has a lot to do with the capacity of refrigeration ...

For motor applications, engineers have several options at their disposal. Typically, engineers can choose between direct-current (DC) or alternating-current (AC) motors. Machine Design has covered the ...

When was the last time you stopped to think about how electric cars actually work? We superfans of the car biz have mostly developed a reasonable understanding of how combustion powertrains work. Most ...
