Motion Trends: New motor breeds are smart, connected, and compact
This year’s survey of trends in electric motors for motion control and automation revealed several trends and emerging developments in the use of synchronous ac motors; stepper motors, especially in closed-loop offerings; brushless motors of various types; and a smattering of specialty direct-drive offerings just making inroads. Proliferation of synchronous ac motors With construction and […]
New high-speed, compact brushless motors from Portescap
Portescap has expanded its Ultra ECTM range of brushless dc slotless motors with the introduction of the new 35ECS motor. This 2-pole motor offers ultra high speed and power (up to 330 W, max continuous) without compromising on the smooth operation and long life offered by Portescap’s brushless slotless motors. The new 35ECS motor is […]
New 200-W high-torque brushless servo motor from maxon
The new EC-i 52XL 200-W brushless servo motor from maxon features a flux collector rotor which provides outstanding torque performance compared to the existing EC-i 52 180-W high torque motor. Especially on the industrial automation front, when space is limited but high torque and dynamics are required, the maxon EC-i 52XL motor with its extended […]
Most efficient vehicle in the world uses brushless motor in drivetrain
One little hydrogen fuel-cell vehicle holds the Guinness world record for the most efficient vehicle … and uses a slotless brushless 60L-H-175-A from Koford Motors to drive its rear power wheel. This year, the tiny car from the Duke Electric Vehicles team beat the 12,600-mpg efficiency of the PAC CAR 2, in turn designed by […]
Frameless brushless dc motors in hybrid solid-state LIDAR Applications
Edited by Terry Persun || Use of light detection and ranging (LiDAR) in the automotive industry is growing exponentially. The two most common variations are solid-state LiDAR and hybrid spinning LiDAR. Solid-state LiDAR are non-spinning systems. Some employ a phased array to steer the laser beam sans moving parts; others include a tiny mirror to steer […]
What’s the difference between an EC motor and a BLDC motor?
Deciphering motor terminology can be frustrating, especially when comparing the operation and performance of various motor types. For example, some motors are characterized by their speed (synchronous or asynchronous) while others are characterized by their commutation method (brushed or brushless). And then there’s the issue of whether the motor is operated with AC or DC […]
Portescap 22ECT35 and 22ECT48 Ultra EC brushless motors for high torque from compact designs
Portescap will be offering two more new length sizes under its ECT range of Ultra EC Brushless Slotless motors — the 35mm 22ECT35 and the 48 mm 22ECT48. These new 22ECT motors along with higher torque capacity are light in weight and come in a compact package which helps in more miniaturization of the customer application. […]
Brushless dc motors for industrial power tools: Comparison of options including slotless motor variations
Industrial power tools have operating profiles that differ from those of most other motor-driven applications. That’s why motors that go into these tools need specialized designs. By Thomas Baile, Business Development Manager | Portescap Most electric-motor-driven designs demand torque for the entirety of their motion. In contrast, power tools for fastening, gripping, and cutting applications […]
Distributor insight: Conversation with Warren Osak on motion-control trends
In a recent phone interview, we got to chat with Warren Osak, CEO of Toronto-based Electromate Inc. — a distributor founded in 1986 that focuses on electromechanical motion control. More specifically, Osak’s company sells primarily servo systems and stepper systems — often for demanding or challenging applications requiring high precision, accuracy, and bi-directional repeatability. Electromate […]
