A dynamometer is a testing device that helps engineers collect data for various mechanical loading conditions that a motor or engine might encounter in a particular application. Other than testing the ...

Electric motors consume almost half of the electricity produced worldwide. They, in fact, provide the necessary driving force for much of today’s equipment. Motors, pumps, and fans are present in an ...

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 ...

Sizing a DC motor to accurately meet a set of requirements can be a thankless task. Having to choose between brush-type or brushless motors can complicate the selection. Even experienced designers may ...

Advanced and sophisticated control of all types of motors, and especially brushless DC (BLDC) types, has been receiving lots of attention and support in recent years. This makes sense, as advanced ...
