Maximize Your Torque with Lin Engineering
Going through a costly trial and errorprocess while selecting a motor should be always be avoided. The trick is to properly utilize the right step motor and then operate it at its maximum efficiency. Lin Engineering Inc., the Step Motor Specialists, have coined the term “Maximize Torque at Desired Speed” in order to simplify this […]
How Green is Your Gearmotor?
Three phase electric motors are more efficient than single phase, but three-phase power isn’t available everywhere. Variable Frequency Drives are today’s answer. When compared to DC speed controls, they offer more features to increase equipment life. To maximize efficiency of your gearmotor, avoid inefficient gearing. Right angle worm gear reducers can have efficiencies of 50% […]

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 […]
