Oversizing often happens when engineers try to match the inertia between the load and the motor rotor, so that they can tune the drive’s velocity, torque or position loop relatively tightly to meet ...

Servo motor sizing is the process of selecting the best motor for a servo application. Misconceptions engineers can fall into when selecting a motor include: sizing based on the horsepower rating of ...

Many applications involving hydraulics and hydraulically-driven machines have load requirements that fluctuate greatly. In some cases, the peak loads last for relatively short periods during the ...

A single-speed motor has one rated speed at which it runs when supplied with the nameplate voltage and frequency. A multispeed motor will run at more than one speed depending on how you connect it to ...

Smaller products are fueling the need for smaller motors, and the need for more torque that fits into thinner, smaller and lighter product designs. Manufacturers of miniature motors are in the ...

“Our dealers, as a routine matter, ask the type of questions [shown] to ensure the generator meets the application requirements,” says John Garcia, Doosan Portable Power. “The supplier’s goal is to ...

Sizing a DC motor to accurately meet a set of requirements can be a thankless task. Having to choose between brush-type or brushless motors can complicate the selection. Even experienced designers may ...

Motors differ from other types of loads in one important way: The motor needs much more current to start than to run. This temporary, but significant, inrush current is what complicates motor circuit ...

Victor, N.Y. — New Scale Technologies, Inc. touts its latest SQUIGGLE motor is the industry's smallest motor in a 1.5 x 1.5 x 6-mm footprint, which is about half the size of other micro-motors. It ...
