Applications requiring variable speed control, precision performance with low torque ripple, and high power in a compact, 1.73'' in diameter package are said to represent the primary market for NT ...

DC Motors were king in industry up until the late 1980s; These motors were popular because they were able to run to a variable speed setpoint, and they could run at full torque from stall to base ...

Speed, torque, and horsepower are three inter-related parameters in motor control. The speed of a motor, measured in revolutions per minute (rpm), defines a motor's ability to spin at a rate per unit ...

“A bunch of things are coming together.” That's how V Sukumar, a senior applications manager for Fairchild Semiconductor, begins a discussion of trends in motor control for the white-goods market.

Special algorithms make ac induction motors respond like variable-speed dc motors for fast PID control. Synchronous dc motors often top the field in high-performance motor controls. This group of ...

The topic of motors and motor control techniques is wide and varied. Part one of this two-part article will cover the principles of alternating-current (AC) motor operation and control. Part two will ...

A brushless-DC motor is common in ceiling fan and pan-tilt-zoom (PTZ) camera designs. But you can’t use the same brushless-DC motor solution for both of these end products. A ceiling fan driver ...

Variable-speed blowers on indoor units can enhance the comfort and efficiency of residential HVAC systems, but most homeowner customers won’t be aware of those benefits unless you explain them. A few ...

Note: This specialization requires purchase of a hardware kit in order to apply your knowledge and skill with real world tools. The hardware will be used to complete the lab exercises across the four ...
