Brushless DC (BLDC) motors are standard fare in low-precision, speedy RC applications. The control schemes needed to run them slowly or precisely go deep into motor theory and might put these motors ...

TRINAMIC Motion Control GmbH & Co. KG launched its first family of smart brushless DC (BLDC) motors with field-oriented control (FOC). The new additions to the company’s PANdrive product family of ...

Texas Instruments (TI) has claimed the industry’s first 70-W brushless DC (BLDC) motor drivers with code-free, sensorless trapezoidal and field-oriented control (FOC), reducing design time while ...

Modern brush DC electric motors have been used in the industry for almost 180 years, but they have several drawbacks. Efficiency is compromised by poor brush contact and arcing between the brushes and ...

Unlike biological systems, which can use muscles, robots that try to imitate them don’t have particularly fast, powerful, compact linear actuators available. This puts walking robots at a particular ...

motor control based on a six-step commutation sequence; detection of the magnetic angle of the rotor, to perform the commutation at the correct angle (each step corresponds to an angle of 60 degrees); ...
