The folks over at the [Barkhausen Institut] are doing research into controlling autonomous fleets of RC cars and had been using off the shelf electronic speed controllers (ESCs) to control the car ...

Brushless DC (BLDC) motors offer some significant advantages over other categories of electric motors, such as brushed motors. Compared with the latter, which are cheaper, BLDC motors require a ...

Brushless DC (BLDC) motors transform electrical power into mechanical power. However, there’s no such thing as a perfect motor; there are always losses in the transformation. The three main types of ...

The design of different three-phase brushless DC motors and how they generate torque. How magnetics, construction, and other factors impact torque, speed, and smoothness in BLDC motors. General ...

Electric fans commonly use low-cost AC motors built around capacitors, which now increasingly demand replacement due to high power consumption. However, while three-phase brushless DC (BLDC) motors ...

How current-control loops in BLDC motors improve performance and efficiency while protecting against overcurrent conditions. The differences between current-control loops, field-oriented control (FOC) ...

Among the mechanical components that go into the design of the world’s two million different kinds of medical devices, consider the motor to be an unsung hero. Embedded inside a medical device, the ...
