How to Design a Custom Brushless PM Motor
by Dan Jones, Director of Engineering Dynetic Systems, Inc. Elk River, Minn. When off-the-shelf motors can’t meet the specs, you might have to go custom, but it’s not as bad as it used to be. Pilotless aircraft engine controls and avionics have joined with the “X-box” and miniature motor-control devices and graphics displays to create […]
Integrated AC Servo Motor
In recent years, integrated brushless servo motors from JVL have achieved a very high reputation throughout the world for their ingenious design. The existing range of 50 to 141W and 800W motors has now been supplemented with the introduction of a mid-range 400W model offering 1.3 Nm up to 3000rpm and shortly up to 1200W […]
ULT Outside Rotating Direct Drive Frameless Motors
The latest in Applimotion’s ULT family is the ULT-O Outside Rotating frameless motor kits. These motors allow the customer flexibility of a large through hole and low profile, but in this case the rotor is external to the stator. This allows the customer to integrate the rotor ring into an outside rotating hub. Similar to […]
