UK-based Yasa has revealed a potentially game-changing in-wheel electric motor. Based on its record-breaking tiny axial flux motor, the new drive unit prototype can provide over 1,000 hp per wheel.

Discover how to create a simple electric motor using everyday materials in this step-by-step tutorial. Learn how to build a homemade DC motor by winding copper wire into coils, constructing a custom ...

The International Electrotechnical Commission (IEC) defines a servo device as “an adjustable-speed AC power drive system that includes an AC motor integrated by feedback, a converter, and control, ...

Microcontrollers may dominate today’s stepper motor projects, but there’s a certain charm in driving them with pure CMOS logic. This no-firmware approach strips things down to the fundamentals of ...

Stepper motors are a mainstay in precision control systems, valued for their simple open-loop operation and high torque at low speeds. Commonly found in CNC machines, 3D printers, and robotics, they ...

Festo’s new stepper motor series — EMMT-ST — features absolute encoders, IP65 protection, holding brakes and control via a single cable. OEMs have the choice of an absolute single-turn encoder or ...

Sometimes less is more. Here, a quarter-step switching logic sequence for stepper motors offers several significant advantages over full-and halfstep modes—higher resolution, smoother drive, minimal ...

Beckhoff’s ASI8100 stepper motor with built-in drive adds another space-saving tool to the company’s broad range of compact drive technology products (up to 48 V DC). The ASI8100 series combines a ...

All of the motors measure 21mm from front to back, plus 8mm of shaft protrusion. In each case there is a standard and a higher holding-torque variant, for example: the 42mm 200mNm HS17HX7L4100 and its ...

There is increasing demand from engineers and specifiers working on complex motion control applications for cutting edge motors, especially those requiring high-torque, precise positioning and ...

Stepper and servo motors have different attributes when considered for motion applications. Torque curves play an important role in selecting the proper size and type of motor for an application.
