One of the challenges that face motion-control engineers is how to properly select a motor. If the motor is undersized or too small, it will not handle load. If the motor is oversized or too large, ...

In Part 1, we saw why we must separate overload protection from fault and short circuit protection for motor circuits. But correctly sizing these different devices can be confusing. And if you follow ...

Oversizing often happens when engineers try to match the inertia between the load and the motor rotor, so that they can tune the drive’s velocity, torque or position loop relatively tightly to meet ...
