Servo motor sizing is the process of selecting the best motor for a servo application. Misconceptions engineers can fall into when selecting a motor include: sizing based on the horsepower rating of ...

A fundamental understanding of the speed-torque curve it the key to specifying a dc motor that will do everything it needs to do. Much has been written about the process of selecting motors for ...

As the cost of electricity goes up, energy efficiency becomes more and more relevant as a design parameter. This is even the case in motion/position control applications, where servomotors are widely ...

Selection of replacement motors is usually straightforward if the ratings are equivalent. Sometimes, however, a different type of motor is necessary or desirable. For success in these cases, it is ...

Before we dig into this subject matter, we'd like to preface what will follow with some background comments. We've had hands-on experience designing intake manifolds and exhaust headers using the ...

We'll spare you a full-on physics lesson, but some science concepts can't be avoided in this discussion. Torque travels from the engine into the transmission, then through the driveshafts and into the ...
