Motion Analyzer provides torque-speed curves for different size motors and displays relevant motor and amplifier data such as average current and peak torque. Selecting and sizing motion-control ...

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.

Prior to the advent of the adjustable-speed drive (ASD), the polyphase induction motor operated as a constant-speed motor. Figure 1 shows the well-known torque and current curves versus speed for the ...

Oriental Motor U.S.A. Corp. Proper motor sizing is important in these days of cost consciousness. Oversized motors are luxuries that are not cost effective. But a motor that's too small simply won't ...

Over time, in this column, we have touched upon several aspects of not only how to achieve higher levels of volumetric efficiency (as it relates to torque) but the importance of this feature in a ...
