The objective of optimized shaft alignment is to increase the operating life span of rotating machinery. To achieve this goal, components that are the most likely to fail must be made to operate ...

• The major issue with all parallel-drive systems is orthogonal alignment. • The dynamic motion generated by any two identical linear-shaft motors is the same ...

Long Tail Mud Motor Kits transform your kayaking experience by providing enhanced power and mobility, allowing you to ...

Stepper motors divide a full rotation into hundreds of discrete steps, which makes them ideal to precisely control movements, be it in cars, robots, 3D printers or CNC machines. Most stepper motors ...

Discover the step-by-step process of building a double shaft motor car in this comprehensive tutorial. Perfect for DIY ...

For retrofits Electro Static Technology’s AEGIS® Shaft Voltage Test Kit makes it easier than ever to measure and document damaging VFD-induced voltages while there is still time to head off bearing ...

O.G. Schmidt invented the electric trolling motor in 1934 when he attached the starter motor from a Model A Ford to a flexible shaft with a propeller on the end. A fanatical angler, Schmidt used the ...

A quadrature encoder provides a way to let hardware read movement (and direction) of a shaft, and they can be simple, effective, and inexpensive devices. But [Paulo Marques] observed that when it ...

With the increasing use of variable-frequency drives (VFDs), there is increased generation of electrical currents on shaft motors, causing electrical damage to bearings. Manufacturers and end users ...

High vibration is a common problem for motors installed on top of vertical pumps. Its source can stem from a mechanical issue with the pump, motor, or coupling — or even hydraulic forces from the pump ...

In the age of energy efficiency, engineers are often excited about the potential cost savings associated with variable-frequency drives (VFDs) and their ability to operate motors to match demand loads ...
