The importance of motor trajectory profiles and how they’re used in brushless DC (BLDC) motor control to minimize vibration and smooth out other performance issues. Why the PID loop is the most widely ...

How current-control loops in BLDC motors improve performance and efficiency while protecting against overcurrent conditions. The differences between current-control loops, field-oriented control (FOC) ...

You want that new video game so badly, but you’re trying to knock your credit card balance down. Or you’re binging your favorite TV show and can’t wait to find out if a character lives, but it’s late, ...

General Motors has released a new customer satisfaction program (CSP) for certain units of the Chevy Equinox EV and Chevy Blazer EV, addressing a potential issue with the all-electric crossovers’ ...

A modified feedback system for the EcoLine achieves 70 micrometer repeatability while preserving the original coils and power electronics, enabling 45% cost savings. Double-length 500 mm modules ...

The world of electric motor tech moves fast. Just months after YASA claimed an unofficial record for the most power-dense unit ever, the Mercedes-owned company specializing in axial-flux design motors ...

Vector Control, also known as Field Oriented Control or FOC is an AC motor control scheme that enables fine-grained control over a connected motor, through the precise control of its phases. In a ...

Abstract: This paper presents the design and implementation of an innovative control valve system that integrates a ball valve run by a servo motor, IoT capabilities, and PID control for precise ...

ST’s EVLSERVO1, a turnkey reference platform for servo motor control, enables sensorless or sensored field-oriented control (FOC) with one, two, or three shunts. It drives three-phase brushless motors ...

Motors are changing in fundamental ways, and you can actually hear the difference. Vacuums, air conditioners, and home appliances are getting quieter. They’re also becoming more efficient, able to ...

In today’s world, motors are ubiquitous, powering everything from household appliances to industrial machinery. The importance of optimizing motor control for energy efficiency cannot be overstated, ...
