In low-cost, high-speed motor applications, especially those inside the home, the universal motor dominates. They are as ubiquitous as the countertop blenders and the power tools they inhabit. But not ...

A new 124-page catalog features detailed specifications on Minarik Drives full line of ac, dc and brushless motors and drives, gearheads and accessories. Dc drives range from 0.01 to 5 hp, ...

During the 1990s, scrap yards could choose their shredder drives. The rule of thumb was DC for large and mid-size systems (5000 hp and below) and AC wound rotor for super shredders (6000 hp and above) ...

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 ...

Processors are paying closer attention to the efficiency of their heavy-duty shredders in an attempt to squeeze out more profits. It is getting tougher and tougher to make a living these days, so the ...

Greater use of robots in the world of automation is bringing about higher productivity in manufacturing, as well as lowering costs. To meet those objectives, robots must have faster response times as ...

When powering AC motors, the electrical supply can be at full power to run at full speed or at variable power to run at variable speed. Applications with varying loads benefit from the variable speed ...

Single- and three-phase alternating current (AC) motor speed can be controlled by controlling the frequency of the voltage coming to it. Motor speed has a lot to do with the capacity of refrigeration ...

A synchronous and synchronous motors are the two main categories of ac motors. The induction motor is a common form of asynchronous motor and is basically an ac transformer with a rotating secondary.
