The wide range of electric motors can be a confusing topic even without considering intelligent motor control. This brief overview is for those who think motors are only divided into two categories: ...

There is a great deal of interest in motor control from this audience,so I thought it would be a good time to refresh our knowledge of someof the more common electric motors. Microchip has puttogether ...

Electric motors are critical assets in many applications, so access to nameplate ratings and terminal markings can save time and money as a motor is moved in and out of service for storage, ...

Next is the H-bridge, which resembles an H (Figure 2), which is used typically with a brushed DC motor. In addition to run, coast, and break operating modes, it can also reverse a motor. Simplified ...

Industrial applications use direct current motors because the speed-torque relationship can be varied to almost any useful form -- for both motor and regeneration applications in either direction of ...

There are also online training videos as well as a number of common motion control applications demonstrated.The site breaks down each example side-by-side to demonstrate the benefits of each type of ...

Stepper motors produce accurate, computer-controlled motion for applications such as robotic arms and paper-feed mechanisms for printers. They require current pulses delivered through a special ...
