Certain components of motors degrade with time and operating stress. Electrical insulation weakens over time with exposure to voltage unbalance, over and under-voltage, voltage disturbances, and ...

When is it genuinely worth upgrading from a standard brushed system to an advanced brushless option? For product teams developing next-generation wearables, medical devices, and high-end consumer ...

Frequently, when it comes to step motor selection, users will select a motor with the highest holding torque rating, assuming that it will give them optimal performance. However, it is an improper ...

Unexpected motor failures can disrupt industrial operations, increase maintenance expenses, and reduce equipment efficiency ...

Motors often fail without warning and when they do the primary concern is getting the affected systems up and running as quickly as possible. If a replacement is readily available, the failed motor is ...

The motor calculations presented here apply to changing conditions of a blower motor when pulley adjustments are made. However, these calculations are useful wherever electric motors are used. These ...

Rotating equipment operating near structural natural frequencies is prone to resonance, resulting in elevated vibration ...

Light-driven molecular motors undergo directional motions upon the input of external energy and represent archetypical molecular machines. So far, such motors have functioned via light-induced bond ...

The U.S. motor industry has worked on a standardized basis for more than three-quarters of a century. The standardization agency — National Electrical Manufacturers Association (NEMA) — was ...
