The schematic of a PMSM drive using a DTC-based speed loop PDFF controller is shown in Fig. 1. This DTC scheme is implemented in stator flux frame, which requires knowledge of stator flux in ...

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 ...

Prior to the advent of the adjustable-speed drive (ASD), the polyphase induction motor operated as a constant-speed motor. Figure 1 shows the well-known torque and current curves versus speed for the ...

Welcome to the dark world of torque converters. When it comes to automatic-equipped street machines and drag-race cars, the torque converter is a welded-up magic box that few enthusiasts know much ...

When it’s time to specify a high-performance motor that offers both precise positioning and cost efficiency, stepper motors offer many advantages over DC motors thanks to their brushless technology.

We try a Jeep Renegade with GKN’s latest self-contained electrified rear-axle with torque vectoring from a single motor. There's no better way to meter precisely the right amount of torque to each ...

Torque is the unsung hero of engine specifications, and we talk about it often. But does it get the recognition it deserves? Too often it ends up playing second fiddle to horsepower in the symphony of ...
