Which types of DC motors can be used as servo motors? (And a refresher on DC motor technologies)

January 11, 2022 By Danielle Collins Leave a Comment

BLDC and brushed DC motors

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, […]

Successful lab experiments start with the right pipette motor

June 15, 2021 By Miles Budimir Leave a Comment

For medical lab applications, motor selection is integral to an electronic pipette’s accuracy and precision. Valentin Raschke Application Engineer Portescap Laboratory automation has always been a great fit for linear motion. Within certain laboratory devices, precision is required for moving samples into position, adding reagents, and withdrawing samples. Advancements in the linear force and speed […]

What are eddy currents and how do they affect motor performance?

April 29, 2021 By Danielle Collins Leave a Comment

eddy currents

One of the electromagnetic principles that governs the operation of an electric motor is Faraday’s law, which states that when the magnetic environment of a coil of wire is changed — whether by moving the magnet and coil relative to each other or by changing the magnetic field — a voltage, or electromotive force (EMF), will […]
