NovaTorque, Inc. has introduced 900 RPM versions of its 1.5, 2, 3 and 5 hp models. The new models provide a full load motor-only efficiency rating of 92% to 94% compared to approximately 82% to 87% ...

Since the boom of the NdFeB magnets industry, the usage and potential applications for permanent magnet machines have grown exponentially to the detriment of traditional induction systems. In special ...

The energy-efficiency regulatory update scheduled for 2023 will affect builders of HVAC equipment, industrial fans, cooling towers and pumps, including those used in irrigation systems. The new ...

Market players are focusing on creating and developing energy efficient motors that utilize permanent magnet materials along with high magnetic flux density due to increasing environmental issues.

Towards the end of July I read a post about how efficient AC induction motors are and that how using them and reducing their speed will help us all to reduce the green-house effect, save money and the ...

Disc motors are permanent-magnet stepping motors that exhibit performance comparable to that of hybrid motors. Rotors in disc motors are thin (typically less than 1-mm) discs, unlike the cylindrical ...

There seems to be some confusion within the industry about the terms “permanent magnet synchronous motors” (PMSMs) and “brushless DC (BLDC) motors”. I’ve talked with several different application ...

It turns out the most abundant rare earth we have, cerium, can substitute for dysprosium when properly co-alloyed with cobalt. That's good news for the motor business. Share on Facebook (opens in a ...
