Greater efficiencies, design standardization, noise reduction and increased power improve motor appeal
Since the first industrial revolution, motors have been integral parts of machinery. The past 30 years alone have seen greater efficiencies, design standardization, noise reduction and increased power.
This article from Automation World, an Endeavor Business Media partner publication, explores innovations and identifies the four major types of industrial motors: ac induction (also known as asynchronous) and ac synchronous motors, as well as dc synchronous motors and servo motors.
Programmable logic controllers (PLCs) and programmable automation controllers (PACs) provide viable options for machine control. This Control Design collection explains the differences...
Motion control engineers tend to focus on torque and speed specifications during the design process, but often fail to notice the unique features that differentiate a high-quality...
