Advances in motor design have allowed different types of robots to both specialize for industrial functions and converge in precision.

The internal combustion engine is found in traditional cars as the main traction element disappears and is replaced by new solutions, with electric motor and batteries at the center of the scene. This ...

Early incarnations of the electric motor first appeared in the 1740s through the work of Scottish Benedictine monk and scientist, Andrew Gordon. Other scientists such as Michael Faraday and Joseph ...

Different types of motors need different types of drivers. Requirements for a variety of applications. Selecting the right motor driver is crucial to achieving the required functionality and ...

The broad world of DC motors is divided into two basic categories: brushed and brushless. The brushed motor has been around “forever” and while billions of such motors in use prove it can work well, ...

Efficiency standards were once confined to integral horsepower motors but may soon apply to small motors and make certain kinds impractical to manufacture. Today, the electric motors that are of most ...

Motors differ from other types of loads in one important way: The motor needs much more current to start than to run. This temporary, but significant, inrush current is what complicates motor circuit ...
