Brushless DC (BLDC) motors transform electrical power into mechanical power. However, there’s no such thing as a perfect motor; there are always losses in the transformation. The three main types of ...

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 folks over at the [Barkhausen Institut] are doing research into controlling autonomous fleets of RC cars and had been using off the shelf electronic speed controllers (ESCs) to control the car ...

The design of different three-phase brushless DC motors and how they generate torque. How magnetics, construction, and other factors impact torque, speed, and smoothness in BLDC motors. General ...

Brushless DC (BLDC) motors offer some significant advantages over other categories of electric motors, such as brushed motors. Compared with the latter, which are cheaper, BLDC motors require a ...

The importance of motor trajectory profiles and how they’re used in brushless DC (BLDC) motor control to minimize vibration and smooth out other performance issues. Why the PID loop is the most widely ...

Electric fans commonly use low-cost AC motors built around capacitors, which now increasingly demand replacement due to high power consumption. However, while three-phase brushless DC (BLDC) motors ...

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 ...

Among the mechanical components that go into the design of the world’s two million different kinds of medical devices, consider the motor to be an unsung hero. Embedded inside a medical device, the ...
