Our project focuses on improving the control system for an electric-vehicle motor, previously used in a racing competition by the UDA E-Team (short for Universidad del Azuay, Ecuador). This project ...
If you’re an active shopper on RC websites, you’ll find tiny motors spec’ed at hundreds of watts while weighing just a few grams, like this one. Sadly, their complementary motor controllers are ...
Advanced and sophisticated control of all types of motors, and especially brushless DC (BLDC) types, has been receiving lots of attention and support in recent years. This makes sense, as advanced ...
Fairchild Semiconductor's China-based Global Power ResourceSM Center (GPRC) has developed a reference design for Brushless DC (BLDC) motor controller applications using SPM® smart power modules, and ...
TOKYO--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Renesas Electronics Corporation (TSE:6723), a premier supplier of advanced semiconductor solutions, today expanded its motor control solutions portfolio with two ...
In my previous article, I described the four most common methods for motor and pump control: input voltage, input voltage pulse-width modulation (PWM), external PWM, and 0–5V DC analog speed input.
Modern brush DC electric motors have been used in the industry for almost 180 years, but they have several drawbacks. Efficiency is compromised by poor brush contact and arcing between the brushes and ...
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 ...
