• 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 ...

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 ...

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 ...

This article was updated Feb. 20, 2023. It was originally published March 2, 2011. Engineers are constantly called on to select motors for the applications that will be able to do the task at hand and ...

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 ...

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 ...

Brushless DC motors are common place in RC Vehicles. They are small, light, fast and can be inexpensive. [Raynerd] wanted a new spindle for his CNC machine and thought that a brushless DC motor would ...
