Motors account for at least half of the energy consumed in the U.S. Selecting the right control method for an application lets the motor run most efficiently while maximizing torque and overall ...

In a speed controller, the motor’s speed (or velocity) is being controlled. There is an element that detects speed, whether it be a tachometer or some sort of encoder. This monitoring element provides ...

Selecting a motor for a specific application can be a challenging task. Many factors must be considered, including the application’s required voltage, maximum current and diameter, speed, efficiency, ...

In today’s world, motors are ubiquitous, powering everything from household appliances to industrial machinery. The importance of optimizing motor control for energy efficiency cannot be overstated, ...

We’ve been intrigued by Orbis’ many different swings at providing in-wheel motors that add little or no un-sprung weight ever since company founder Marcus Hays brought us a PHEV Civic Type R with an ...

A Texas-based startup has raised US$4.5 million in seed funding to develop and commercialize a remarkable electric motor technology. The father/son team claims the design can massively reduce the size ...

Graceful Shutdown: Ensuring the motor and controller are shut down safely when the application is stopped. If the application operates on a multicore MCU/DSP/FPGA, an appropriate inter-core ...
