The amount of noise in a motor depends on the type of motor, environmental conditions, and the specific application. Permanent magnet and hybrid stepper motors are generally quieter, as they have a ...

Many applications using miniature brushed DC motors require motors to operate at more than one load point or through specific load cycles. Running a motor at usable load points requires a variable, ...

Given their ubiquity, it is no surprise that embedded systems designers devote a lot of imagination to coming up with innovative ways to make MCU-controlled steppers and microsteppers do more and do ...

This application note presents Z16FMC microcontroller used to control 3-phase brushless BLDC motors in a sinusoidal PWM modulation mode. It discusses the ways in which to implement sinusoidal PWM ...

Every day engineers design products that employ single-phase induction motors. Speed control of single-phase induction motors is desirable in most motor control applications since it not only provides ...

Stepper motors produce accurate, computer-controlled motion for applications such as robotic arms and paper-feed mechanisms for printers. They require current pulses delivered through a special ...

Agile Systems has received a patent for technology designed to improve stepper-motor performance. Agile Systems has received a patent for technology designed to improve stepper-motor performance. It ...

Engineers who work in motion control often start out using a relatively simple approach involving stepper motors to synthesize moves. Steppers are appealing in that their controllers can be simple and ...

When it’s time to specify a high-performance motor that offers both precise positioning and cost efficiency, stepper motors offer many advantages over DC motors thanks to their brushless technology.

Speed control of an AC motor requires a three phase supply that can vary both voltage and frequency. Such a supply creates a variable speed rotating field in the stator that allows the rotor to spin ...
