Designers of motion control applications are under pressure to optimize performance and efficiency while keeping component count and space to an absolute minimum. The ideal situation is sensorless ...

There are a lot of cheap Chinese CNC machines out there with okay mechanics and terrible electronics. The bearings aren’t complete crap, but the spindle of these CNC machines is a standalone PWM ...

One of the great things about the Gearing Up challenge of the 2023 Hackaday Prize is that it lets you discover tools that you don’t encounter every day. We had never given much thought to spin coaters ...

Zilog's Z16FMC Series of Flash microcontrollers are ideal for 3-phase and single-phase AC induction, permanent magnet synchronous motors (PMSMs), and brushless DC motor control. These motors are ...

The design of different three-phase brushless DC motors and how they generate torque. How magnetics, construction, and other factors impact torque, speed, and smoothness in BLDC motors. General ...

Toshiba Electronic Devices & Storage Corporation (“Toshiba”) has started to ship engineering samples of “TB9M030FG,” the ...

Texas Instruments has introduced 70W brushless dc motor drivers with code-free sensor-less ield-oriented or trapezoidal control. In common, the devices include a set of commutation control algorithms ...
