Growing up in the thick of the Fox-body Mustang days, a quick street Mustang ran 13’s in the quarter-mile. Now Ford’s turbocharged econobox front-drivers will run times that embarrass many muscle ...

Torque motors are frameless kit motors consisting of a permanent-magnet rotor and laminated stator. A bridge keeps the rotor and stator aligned while the torque motor is assembled. Torque motors come ...

The name of the game is acceleration at the wheels. Not motor torque. It’s common practice for EV producers to report the torque of the car’s electric motor. But Peter Rawlinson, Lucid’s chief ...

Step motors provide accurate position control without the need for feedback, traditionally in open-loop control schemes. A stepper motor’s shaft normally makes discrete angular movements of ...

All the motors produce either interaction torque, reluctance torque or a combination of both. The second article in this series discussed the underlying principles common to all motors. As we have ...

Selecting a motor for a specific application can be a challenging task. Many factors must be considered, including the application’s required voltage, maximum current and diameter, speed, efficiency, ...

When it’s time to specify a high-performance motor that offers both precise positioning and cost efficiency, stepper motors offer many advantages over DC motors thanks to their brushless technology.
