The two most important electric motors are the ac induction motor and the permanent magnet (PM) brushless synchronous motor, also known as the brushless dc or ac servo motor. These motors have ...

DC Motors were king in industry up until the late 1980s; These motors were popular because they were able to run to a variable speed setpoint, and they could run at full torque from stall to base ...

Brushless Direct Current (BLDC) motors are one of themotor types rapidly gaining popularity. BLDC motorsare used in industries such as Appliances, Automotive,Aerospace, Consumer, Medical, Industrial ...

The thyristor d.c. drive remains an important speed-controlled industrial drive, especially where the higher maintenance cost associated with the d.c. motor brushes (c.f. induction motor) is tolerable ...

Two great minds in permanent-magnet-free motor design are fusing their know-how to create an even more capable inductive electric motor. Mahle and Valeo have teamed up to introduce what they call the ...

DC motors may not be the wave of the future, but they certainly have a secure place in today’s workplace (see DC Isn’t Dead). Therefore, it’s worthwhile for electrical professionals to take a look at ...
