The most common arrangement, which is used with only minor variations from small drives of say 0.5 kW up to the largest industrial drives of several megawatts, is the so-called two-loop control. This ...

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 ...

Starting on Monday, September 19, and running through September 23, Design News will present the free course, DC Motor Controls with the RP2040 Pico. Each class runs an hour, beginning at 2:00 Eastern ...

The DC motor is widely used in the field of servo automation and robotics. The operating principle of an electric motor is based on the interaction of two magnetic fields that attract and repel each ...

[Thinking Techie] takes us back to basics in a recent video explaining how magnets, coils, brushed DC motors, and brushless DC motors work. If this is on your “to learn” list, or you just want a ...

The Arduino Opta micro programmable logic controller (PLC) provides a unique entry point into the automation field. Automation fields like smart homes, process controls, and robotics are project areas ...

Permanent magnet dc motors need a chunky inductor in series with them if they are fed from an SCR (thyristor) based mains power controller. It is (probably!) possible to safely interface an Arduino to ...

Humans have a complex body with more degrees of freedom than needed to perform any particular task. Such redundancy affords flexible and adaptable motor behavior, provided that all degrees of freedom ...
