A fundamental understanding of the speed-torque curve it the key to specifying a dc motor that will do everything it needs to do. Much has been written about the process of selecting motors for ...

Servo motor sizing is the process of selecting the best motor for a servo application. Misconceptions engineers can fall into when selecting a motor include: sizing based on the horsepower rating of ...

As the cost of electricity goes up, energy efficiency becomes more and more relevant as a design parameter. This is even the case in motion/position control applications, where servomotors are widely ...

How many times have you heard that a crankshaft, connecting rod, or even forged piston is good for 13 psi of boost? On the surface, this seems reasonable, but the reality is that boost is far from ...

Our objective in specifying motors for HVACR equipment is to start and run the driven equipment under all operating conditions reliably and with reasonable life expectancy. The manufacturer of the ...

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 ...
