Infinitum Electric is a Texas-based company founded in 2016 whose objective is to contribute to the electric revolution by powering it. The company has patented a stator technology for smarter, ...

A typical low-voltage variable-frequency drive. Industrial facilities commonly use variable-frequency drives (VFDs) to control the speed at which alternating current motors operate. Let’s examine a ...

Stepper motors are useful for relatively low-speed, intermediate-torque drive and positioning applications, particularly where accurate sub-revolution rotor position control is necessary. Motors of ...

Art. 430, Part VI provides the requirements for motor control circuits, but not for the actual motor controllers (those are covered by Part VII). Most of it has to do with overcurrent protection. The ...

The diagram above is a typical PCB layout in Altium Circuitmaker software. The days of “electro” and “mechanical” being separate disciplines are long gone. Virtually all mechanical systems now come ...

The three horsepower, printed circuit board stator, axial flux machine offers a sustainable solution for pump systems via greater power, efficiency, and durability in a smaller package. NEEDHAM, Mass.

What if the future of electric motors didn’t rely on bulky copper windings or heavy steel components? Ziroth outlines how Printed Circuit Board (PCB) motors are flipping the script on traditional ...

Note: This specialization requires purchase of a hardware kit in order to apply your knowledge and skill with real world tools. The hardware will be used to complete the lab exercises across the four ...

Over the last 2 years [Carl Bujega] has made a name for himself with his PCB motor designs. His latest adventure is to turn it into a stepper motor by adding position control with microstepping. The ...

[Carl Bugeja] has been working on his PCB motors for more than three years now, and it doesn’t seem like he is close to running out of ideas for the project. His latest creation is a tiny ...
