In this article learn about options for measuring current in motor control applications, the strengths and challenges of these options, and how using precision current measurement can optimize the ...

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.

Isolated sigma-delta (∑-Δ)-based analogue-to-digital converters (ADCs) have become the preferred method for phase current measurement in high performance motor and servo drives. The converters have ...

A new windshield wiper motor offers high torque in a small package, showing promise for heavy-duty vehicles with tight space constraints. The Viper3 geared motor is said to be quieter, lighter, and ...

Matching drive to motor is essential to gain the best combination of torque, speed, and efficiency. Selecting the right drive is essential to getting the best performance and efficiency from an ...

Knowing the conversion factor will help consumers compare the power of an electric vehicle with an engine-powered one. Read ...

Devon-based Ashwoods Electric Motors has chosen torque sensors from Isle-of-Wight-based Datum for its suite of automated dynamometers, which Ashwoods designed in-house. “The team wanted a relatively ...

Stepper motors are often used for positioning since they are cost-effective, easy to drive, and can be used in open-loop systems—meaning that they don’t require position feedback like servo motors.

Officially, Craftsman's Torque Meter is called an Electronic Rotary Torque Sensor System. For clarity, it's sort of a high-tech torque wrench, but it's unlike any torque wrench you've ever seen.
