I recently ran into an interesting dilemma while running tests on TI’s new InstaSPIN™-FOC sensorless motor control software. “How do you define motor torque?” On the surface, this sounds like an easy ...

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.

View post: This Chinese SUV is Both a Pickup and a Camper – And It’s Headed to Production Whether you’re reading about V8 pickups or electric sedans, the concept of torque is critical to understanding ...

In the current market, it is common to see new diesel trucks putting out over 1,000 lb-ft of torque from the factory. That's just in the consumer space. When it comes to heavy-duty industrial ...

A brushless-DC motor is common in ceiling fan and pan-tilt-zoom (PTZ) camera designs. But you can’t use the same brushless-DC motor solution for both of these end products. A ceiling fan driver ...
