Selecting a motor for a specific application can be a challenging task. Many factors must be considered, including the application’s required voltage, maximum current and diameter, speed, efficiency, ...

The optimal size for a clutch or brake is determined by three things: Required torque, thermal horsepower per engagement, and average required thermal horsepower. Here, we'll discuss the first, ...

The graph shows that at 16 microsteps/full step, the incremental torque for one microstep is less than 10% of the full-step holding torque. The lure of microstepping a two-phase stepper motor is ...

Evaluating tribological properties such as friction coefficients, friction forces, and torques for arbitrary material pairs, with high precision is crucial for multiple areas of research and industry.

Selection of replacement motors is usually straightforward if the ratings are equivalent. Sometimes, however, a different type of motor is necessary or desirable. For success in these cases, it is ...
