Linear motors are becoming increasingly practical for general motion. Many are used for long strokes of a few feet or more. One new design, however, where the magnets move relative to a stationary ...

As previously mentioned, the feedback sensors include position sensors to track the rotor’s location, current sensors to measure the motor phase currents, voltage sensors to monitor the DC bus voltage ...

Two great minds in permanent-magnet-free motor design are fusing their know-how to create an even more capable inductive electric motor. Mahle and Valeo have teamed up to introduce what they call the ...

Vector Control, also known as Field Oriented Control or FOC is an AC motor control scheme that enables fine-grained control over a connected motor, through the precise control of its phases. In a ...

Never mind present-day’s bonny blather on the benefits of electric, hydrogen and biofuel power. How do you feel about magnets? Better make up your mind, stat; as of this morning, a company named ...

High-performance motors need a control mechanism that ensures enhanced smoothness, reliability, and efficiency. One of the most apt examples of such an application is the motor used in ...
