For motor applications, engineers have several options at their disposal. Typically, engineers can choose between direct-current (DC) or alternating-current (AC) motors. Machine Design has covered the ...

A synchronous and synchronous motors are the two main categories of ac motors. The induction motor is a common form of asynchronous motor and is basically an ac transformer with a rotating secondary.

During the constant worldwide campaign to make the planet as clean as possible, electric vehicle (EV) drivers have an improving chance of driving cars with fewer moving parts. One of an EV’s greatest ...

DC machines can be classified as self-excited, separately excited, permanent magnet (PM), and brushless. Self-excited machines can be further classified as shunt, series, and compound. Compound ...

DC Motors were king in industry up until the late 1980s; These motors were popular because they were able to run to a variable speed setpoint, and they could run at full torque from stall to base ...

Any enthusiast will be able to tell you the seat-of-the-pants characteristics of their favorite engine. The torque-peakiness of an Eighties turbo car, the endless rev-hungry climb of a naturally ...

At Agritechnica, Danfoss Power Solutions has launched its Editron EM-PMI180 low-voltage electric motor. The 48-volt ...

Electric vehicles function in fundamentally different ways than traditional cars. Internal combustion engines have loads of moving parts, and while EVs have their own complexities, they’re much more ...
