Any electrical motor, from an idealized viewpoint, consists of two sets of magnets—one set stationary, one set free to move—placed in special geometric relation to one another. For most practical ...

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 ...

In principle, air conditioners and refrigeration units don't produce cold air. These systems transfer heat from one place to another and therefore reduce temperature in a confined area (passenger ...

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

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 ...
