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.
This paper examines highly sensitive piezoelectric sensors for precise vibration measurement which is critical in semiconductor production to prevent quality and yield issues....
Motor encoders are rotary encoders adapted to provide information about an electric motor shaft's speed and/or position. Like rotary encoders, motor encoders are most commonly...
