Brushless dc motor controller for I/O-based applications
With the CSL3, Nanotec now offers an easy-to-configure controller for brushless dc motors with up to 72 W rated power and 3 A rated current. Apart from speed control, it also supports positioning via Hall signals. 16 different movement profiles can be set by means of bit configuration via digital inputs, meaning they can be […]
Which types of DC motors can be used as servo motors? (And a refresher on DC motor technologies)
Servo motors are used in applications where precise control of position, speed, or torque is required. But many different types of motors can be considered servo motors — the defining feature of a servo motor is that it incorporates or reads feedback in a closed-loop system. In fact, although many servo applications use synchronous AC motors, […]
Portescap integrates driver into new mini brushless dc motor
Portescap’s new 22ECP miniature brushless dc motor includes an integrated driver to optimize motor performance and simplify installation. The new 22-mm diameter motor is just 35 mm in length and delivers 50 percent more continuous torque than comparable brushless slotless miniature motors, without compromising smoothness of operation or motor lifespan. The new motor is the […]
Miniature controllers from FAULHABER control a range of dc motors
The new MC 3001 are unhoused versions of the FAULHABER motion controllers and, by means of the integrated output stage with optimized current measurement, can control dc micromotors, linear dc servomotors or brushless dc motors from the company’s product line from 6 to 30 mm. With an overall height from 2.6 mm and a format […]
Compact, energy-efficient brushless dc motor for high-speed applications
Portescap has added the 16ECS high-speed brushless motor to its Ultra EC mini brushless dc motor platform. These compact 16-mm motors are available in 36- and 52-mm lengths and provide high power while running at speeds of 75,000 rpm. The 16ECS is comprised of an enhanced magnetic circuit that reduces iron and recirculation losses that […]
Brushless DC motor from Portescap with integrated driver saves you space and time
Portescap introduces the newest addition to their Ultra EC mini brushless DC motor platform – the 16 ECP brushless motor with a new integrated driver. These new 16mm diameter motor versions are available in two lengths (36mm & 52mm). These compact motors offer almost 50 percent more continuous torque over similar comparative motors without compromising […]
How custom BLDC motors boost performance and lower costs
From packaging to communications, BLDC servomotors are gaining market share in a variety of industries — and for good reason. They deliver high torque and smooth rotation (with minimal torque ripple) and lend themselves well to cost-saving customization. By Ralph Adams • President | Orbex Group Design engineers typically rely on off-the-shelf brushless dc (BLDC) […]
Brush DC versus brushless DC motors in disposable tools
Disposable medical hand tools are seeing increased use due to their cost and hygiene benefits. Engineers who design these tools usually specify brush DC or brushless DC motors. Here we compare these two options. By Clémence Muron • Applications engineer | Portescap An early step of surgical power tool engineering is to determine whether the […]
Lin Engineering hastens manufacture of dc motors for fight against COVID-19
With the recent COVID-19 outbreak, demand for medical equipment has quickly risen. Many such devices incorporate precision electric motors. To support efforts to combat COVID-19, Lin Engineering — a designer and manufacturer of precision electric motors and motion systems — is prioritizing the production and supply of motors to support companies making medical devices critical […]
