In my previous article, I described the four most common methods for motor and pump control: input voltage, input voltage pulse-width modulation (PWM), external PWM, and 0–5V DC analog speed input.

Electric motors, which convert electrical energy into mechanical energy, play an essential role in a variety of industrial and robotics applications. Given that electric motors account for ...

This Reference Design describes the design of a 3-phase BLDC (Brushless DC) motor drive, which supports Freescale's 56F801X Digital Signal Controllers, dedicated motor control devices. The ...

The folks over at the [Barkhausen Institut] are doing research into controlling autonomous fleets of RC cars and had been using off the shelf electronic speed controllers (ESCs) to control the car ...

If you’re an active shopper on RC websites, you’ll find tiny motors spec’ed at hundreds of watts while weighing just a few grams, like this one. Sadly, their complementary motor controllers are ...

For high-speed applications, such as drills, grinders, or tattooing instruments, the slotless BLDC motor DS16 from Nanotec is a highly efficient solution. For high-speed applications, such as drills, ...

Among the mechanical components that go into the design of the world’s two million different kinds of medical devices, consider the motor to be an unsung hero. Embedded inside a medical device, the ...
