Prior to the advent of the adjustable-speed drive (ASD), the polyphase induction motor operated as a constant-speed motor. Figure 1 shows the well-known torque and current curves versus speed for the ...

Over 50% of Earth’s total electricity consumption is used for operating motors and motor systems. HVAC contractors and technicians encounter motors in a variety of different applications, and aspects ...

Here are two simple 12V DC motor speed controllers that can be built for just a few dollars. Here are two simple 12V DC motor speed controllers that can be built for just a few dollars. They exploit ...

Frequently, when it comes to step motor selection, users will select a motor with the highest holding torque rating, assuming that it will give them optimal performance. However, it is an improper ...

This article explains how to create a brushed DC motor programmable speed regulator that is low-noise, high-performance, and affordable. The regulator is not affected by changes in temperature, ...

To successfully integrate the drive into the system, the controller must provide full functionality for motor control. The more functions the drive itself can implement, the fewer add-ons and ...

DNA-nanoparticle motors are exactly as they sound: tiny artificial motors that use the structures of DNA and RNA to propel motion by enzymatic RNA degradation. Essentially, chemical energy is ...

DC motors come in many forms, but they all have the same job: turning electrical energy (DC) into mechanical energy. Although DC motors have a common operating principle, many applications—including ...
