A special type of brushless motor is called a limited-angle torquer (LAT). LATs are constrained to produce torque through a rotation angle of less than 180°. But they are widely used to operate ...

Dacia has announced the first major update to the Spring small electric car since the model's launch in 2021 as Europe's cheapest EV. At the 2023 Brussels Motor Show, the Renault-owned brand has ...

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, ...

The LS engine remains the darling of the performance world, but does that mean all LS owners are looking for the same thing when it comes time for upgrades? Obviously not, or every LS story would be ...

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 ...

I recently ran into an interesting dilemma while running tests on TI’s new InstaSPIN™-FOC sensorless motor control software. “How do you define motor torque?” On the surface, this sounds like an easy ...

No-slip clutch/brakes keep loads and drives synced up. Machines that move loads to specified positions and hold them within a few thousandths of an inch need highly controllable, precision brakes.

When it’s time to specify a high-performance motor that offers both precise positioning and cost efficiency, stepper motors offer many advantages over DC motors thanks to their brushless technology.

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 ...

Try this for kicks. The next time you’re surrounded by your gearhead buddies, ask them to explain the difference between horsepower and torque. The participants will immediately divide into “pro ...
