The generation of motors today are increasingly developed through electronic controls which offers better control over speed, position and torque with greater efficiency. The MOSFETs and IGBT are used ...

This webinar is a beginner’s course to help system designers understand the fundamentals of motor control circuitry and common control schemes. This webinar is a beginner’s course to help system ...

This fall, the SMMA Motor & Motion College will offer three motor control courses. Topics to be covered include the Basics of Brushless DC Motors, Basic Motor Theory, Operation and Application, and ...

For automating machines that require only two to three axes of electric actuators, pulse outputs may be the simplest way to go. Using pulse outputs from a PLC is a cost-effective way to get simple ...

Specifics about high-power-density motors (HPDMs). Applications best served with HPDMs. Why BLDCs are perhaps the most preferred among HPDM architectures. High power density is an important ...

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 ...

Here are some answers to frequently asked questions about motor control. Motors provide the driving power in almost every stage of the manufacturing and production process. With this much productive ...

Renesas Electronics has introduced the RA8T2 microcontroller (MCU) group for high-end motor control.

The new motor driver supports both sensor-based and sensorless control while aiding configuration with programmable flash.

Each motor branch circuit must be protected against short circuit and ground faults by an overcurrent device sized no greater than the percentages listed in Table 430.52. A branch-circuit ...

Renesas’ RA8T2 motor control MCUs address real-time control in high-end factory automation and robotics applications.
