In this intriguing video, we delve into the fascinating world of electric motors by conducting an experiment to compare the ...

When energy-efficiency costs come into play, more designers are opting for the electronically commutated motor rather than familiar AC and DC versions. For motor applications, engineers have several ...

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 ...

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 ...

In this informative and hands-on video, we'll guide you through the process of building an AC generator at home using a DC ...

In low-cost, high-speed motor applications, especially those inside the home, the universal motor dominates. They are as ubiquitous as the countertop blenders and the power tools they inhabit. But not ...

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 ...

In the use of intelligent barrier gates in parking lots, the selection of motors is often overlooked, yet it directly determines the gate's traffic efficiency, lifespan, and operational maintenance ...

Electric motors can be found in most types of machinery. Here we examine some of the common myths about their selection, operation, and future. The purpose of an electric motor is to convert ...
