Motor Controller with Parallel Processing Cores Provides Simple Conversion of AC Motor Control Designs
Motor control application designers are now moving away from the traditional universal or AC motor design to a more sophisticated brushless DC (BLDC) motor or permanent magnet synchronous motor (PMSM) design. However, choosing either of these methods can be challenging if the designer has limited access to advanced, complex motor control algorithms. This can lead […]
Nippon Pulse Offers Geared Stepper To Replace NEMA11
Nippon Pulse has introduced the PFCU30 integrated geared stepper motor as a replacement option for a NEMA11 hybrid stepper motor. Because it is a tin-can style stepper motor, the PFCU30 is available at a much lower cost than a NEMA11 hybrid stepper motor, potentially 50 percent lower. With its standard 3/25 gear ratio, the PFCU30 […]
