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 ...

DC motors may not be the wave of the future, but they certainly have a secure place in today’s workplace (see DC Isn’t Dead). Therefore, it’s worthwhile for electrical professionals to take a look at ...

In this online engineering specialization, you will master sensor and motor theory and program these devices in a microprocessor system. You will complete courses in sensors and sensor circuit design; ...

Few hackers have trouble understanding basic electric motors. We’ve all taken apart something that has a permanent magnet DC motor in it and hooked up its two leads to a battery to make it spin.

We often think of the electric light as being the “killer app” for electricity. Sure, the telegraph was also fairly important, but it didn’t enter every home the way the electric light did -- not ...

The rise of axial-flux motors. Motor theory versus practice. Scalability of axial- and radial-flux motors. The future motor split. Many technologies have played a role in the electric-vehicle (EV) ...

Let us begin this session by revisiting a nostalgic motor control IC—the AN6651—designed for rotating speed control of compact DC motors used in tape recorders, record players, and similar devices.
