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. […]
