A brushless-DC motor is common in ceiling fan and pan-tilt-zoom (PTZ) camera designs. But you can’t use the same brushless-DC motor solution for both of these end products. A ceiling fan driver ...

Whether in electronics, mechanical engineering, or biology, miniaturization brings demands for dimensional accuracy. Simply adopting a downsized standard method from the big world won’t work. The ...

Three new PID-based position controllers have been developed for use with small to medium size DC brushed motors. Well-suited for use in robotics or light industrial positioning systems, the new ...

The DC motor is widely used in the field of servo automation and robotics. The operating principle of an electric motor is based on the interaction of two magnetic fields that attract and repel each ...

DC motors may not be the wave of the future, but they certainly have a secure place in today’s workplace (see DC Isn’t Dead). Therefore, it’s worthwhile for electrical professionals to take a look at ...

Position encoders are sensors that, when used in industrial settings, produce critical motor information such as speed and position. The encoder delivers data for display or data that may serve as ...

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 ...
