The most common arrangement, which is used with only minor variations from small drives of say 0.5 kW up to the largest industrial drives of several megawatts, is the so-called two-loop control. This ...

Classic radial gap, stacked lamination stators. (Shown with and without windings.) As we look at catalogs of electric motors, we find them classified by power, speed, and torque. To a large extent, ...

Torque is an important factor in much of the equipment on a factory floor. Measuring torque is often something that's misunderstood, which can lead to over- under-designing of measurement systems.

A fundamental understanding of the speed-torque curve it the key to specifying a dc motor that will do everything it needs to do. Much has been written about the process of selecting motors for ...

The first type of motor built is still in widespread use In the late 1800s, several inventors built the first working motors, which used direct current (DC) power. After the invention of the induction ...

Without getting into a long-winded dissertation about torque, we're going to suggest that you dig through your old copies of HOT ROD Magazine and familiarize yourself with the relationship between ...

Most known for their versatility, electric motors have revolutionised the way we view the core definition of power, qualifying it as effective energy expenditure concerning work done over time. Among ...

With the growing popularity of CVT's and sequential manual transmissions, some may say that the conventional automatic may go extinct someday. Yeah right. There are still plenty of Bow Tie enthusiasts ...
