During the 1990s, scrap yards could choose their shredder drives. The rule of thumb was DC for large and mid-size systems (5000 hp and below) and AC wound rotor for super shredders (6000 hp and above) ...

Applications often end up with poorly-specified drives and other motion-control components. Often that is because engineers and designers overlook characteristics such as motor type, torque, power and ...

Brushless DC motors, and their associated drive electronics, tend to be expensive and complicated. [Ottoragam] was looking for a cheaper alternative and built this Brushed DC motor servo controller ...

In low-cost, high-speed motor applications, especially those inside the home, the universal motor dominates. They are as ubiquitous as the countertop blenders and the power tools they inhabit. But not ...

The GSD1 series drives are pulse-width-modulated (PWM) controllers for 12-36 V battery/solar-powered equipment and feature adjustable maximum/minimum speed, current limit, IR compensation and ...

Siemens Industry, Inc. introduced today its new Sinamics DC Master (DCM) Base Drive as a result of increasing demand for base drive panels using the Sinamics DC Master converter. This pre-wired ...

When decelerating a moving mass in a permanent magnet motor drive, energy stored in the mechanical system may be returned through the motor driver to the power source. If this energy is not properly ...
