Portescap Athlonix™ 12GS Brush DC Motors Offer Size Reduction without Compromising Efficiency
Portescap introduces 12GS motors to their Athlonix™ platform of high-power density brush dc motors. 12GS high endurance motors deliver spectacular speed-to-torque performance in a compact lighter weight package (13.5 g / 0.47 oz) with output power up to 1.2 watts. 12GS motors also feature an energy efficient coreless design with an optimized self-supporting coil and […]
What are brushless dc motors? Technical summary for engineers
Updated June 2020. || Brushless dc (BLDC) motors are DC motors that use magnets instead of brushes and a commutator for commutation. The benefit to that is they don’t suffer from brush wear … but the drawback is that they need electronic current-phase commutation. In short, brushless DC motors work like shunt-wound motors, but field flux comes from […]
What are dc motors and how do definitions vary? Technical summary for engineers
Updated May 2019. || Dc motors are motion components that take electrical power in the form of direct current (or some manipulated form of direct current) and convert it into mechanical rotation. The motors do this through the use of magnetic fields that arise from the electric currents to spur rotation of a rotor fixed […]
Portescap unveils coreless DC motors with REE technology
Portescap (www.portescap.com) has announced that its coreless DC motors range meets the demanding requirements of intrinsic safety application with proprietary Reduced Electro Erosion (REE) technology. “DC motor commutation is accomplished via brushes, which leads to electrical arcing during rotation. To reduce electro erosion while extending commutator life, Portescap innovated the proprietary REE coil system to […]
