Deciphering motor terminology can be frustrating, especially when comparing the operation and performance of various motor types. For example, some motors are characterized by their speed (synchronous or asynchronous) while others are characterized by their commutation method (brushed or brushless). And then there’s the issue of whether the motor is operated with AC or DC […]

Brushless dc motors for industrial power tools: Comparison of options including slotless motor variations
Industrial power tools have operating profiles that differ from those of most other motor-driven applications. That’s why motors that go into these tools need specialized designs. By Thomas Baile, Business Development Manager | Portescap Most electric-motor-driven designs demand torque for the entirety of their motion. In contrast, power tools for fastening, gripping, and cutting applications […]
How to use SPI for dc motors?
Serial peripheral interface (SPI) is a commonly used input-output standard for synchronous data transmission. It transmits data between microcontrollers and peripheral devices such as sensors, memory cards, and displays, among others. At its most basic physical level, it’s a four-wire serial interface with data rates that can vary from a few MHz to upwards of […]
