Compact external rotor motors with integrated encoder from Nanotec
The DFA68 and DFA90 series brushless dc motors from Nanotec are now available with integrated encoder. Their extremely compact design makes the new external rotor motors particularly suitable for applications that require precise positioning in confined spaces, such as AGV wheel drives, access control gates and door drives. Both motors are equipped with a 3-channel […]
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 […]
Three-phase rectifier boards from Koford Engineering for brushless generators
Brushless generators from Koford Engineering components are now possible. The motion-component supplier now sells regulated three-phase rectifier boards (for up to 5 V and 20 A) that combine with any three phase sensorless brushless motor to serve as brushless generators. Product information can be found at koford.com/Generators.pdf. Recall that when driven by a power […]
NASA’s Perseverance rover heading to Mars with maxon drives aboard
This month, NASA will be sending its fifth rover to Mars. Its main mission is to collect soil samples that will be analyzed on Earth at a later time. The rover will also carry a helicopter that will perform the first flights on the Red Planet. maxon’s precision dc and brushless dc motors will be […]
