According to the company in reference to its pancake-style, planetary gear train motors, for a given size motor, the larger the size of the rotor, the greater the torque capability will be. One ...

A special type of brushless motor is called a limited-angle torquer (LAT). LATs are constrained to produce torque through a rotation angle of less than 180°. But they are widely used to operate ...

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.

PSC motors rely on the rotating magnetic field that is generated by the applied alternating voltage and corresponding alternating current to turn the rotor. The magnetic field rotates at 3,600 rpm (60 ...

Magnetic couplings transmit high torque with no physical contact, and they disengage smoothly when load gets too high. Generally speaking, the couplings use magnetic power in three different ways; ...

Torque motors are also called "frameless" motors. They don't have housings, bearings, or feedback devices. In this sense the motor is a kit and meant to be part of the machine structure. Torque motors ...

I recently ran into an interesting dilemma while running tests on TI’s new InstaSPIN™-FOC sensorless motor control software. “How do you define motor torque?” On the surface, this sounds like an easy ...
