Brushless DC (BLDC) motors are standard fare in low-precision, speedy RC applications. The control schemes needed to run them slowly or precisely go deep into motor theory and might put these motors ...

In this article, I’ll dig into a couple of things you need to know when it comes to using salvaged hard disc drive spindle motors. Most electronics hobbyists think that such hard disc drive spindle ...

If you've worked on a mobile robot, an AGV, or any kind of automated machine, you've probably run into at least one of t ...

The motor and motor control markets are thriving in a number of areas, particularly medical and robotic applications. Also, there is a rich demand for small, efficient, high- and low-torque, and high- ...

Brushless DC (BLDC) motors offer many operating attributes in performance and controllability, but they may require a position (rotation) sensor such as an encoder, resolver, or Hall-effect device to ...

We often think of the electric light as being the “killer app” for electricity. Sure, the telegraph was also fairly important, but it didn’t enter every home the way the electric light did -- not ...

A new class of BLDC motors has evolved that are small enough to fit into confined spaces, powerful enough to do real work, and efficient enough to be used in wireless or remote applications The spread ...
