What processes are involved for measuring and reducing sound emissions when creating motors to go into appliances? We take a look at some of the steps involved.

Permanent Magnet Synchronous Motors (PMSM) are advanced AC electric motors consisting of a stator, and a rotor which is connected to the output shaft. Permanent magnet motors typically use Neodymium magnets which are embedded in the rotor to create torque garnered by electromagnetism. This type of motor differs from most other electric motors, whereby the rotor generates its own magnetic field through induction, or where the field currents are transferred to the rotor by brushes and slip rings. PMSM motors are an excellent choice for a range of motion control applications.

Axial Flux motor technology is not new, however recent improvements on magnetic materials and manufacturing processes, in conjunction with new electrification trends have meant AF motors have made a comeback.

The goal of winding is to effectively place turns or coils of wire around the metallic core of the motor. That winding will then generate the magnetic flux that pushes and pulls the magnets and the rotor, creating torque.

Magnets are commonly used in everything from dentures to industrial motors and generators. What are the key differences between a rare earth magnet and a ferrite magnet? We take a look in this article.

As the global electric drive system market grows at an exponential rate, evolving motor designs continue to provide more efficient, accurate and reliable solutions for consumers.

In this article, we look at some of the key advantages of electric motors over their fuel burning counterparts. With electric motor technology advancing at a rapid rate, there is a shift happening, and it's moving towards electric power.

As the tide turns in favour of electric and battery power, what does it mean for manufacturers and rising costs? As production increases, are there any costs that are going down?

What are the key benefits of having unique controller software for your application? We look at some of the core things that make this option attractive.

This article outlines the purpose and functions of the Battery Management System (BMS) and how they relate to the controller.

With a wide range of electric motor technologies available, there will be a motor to suit almost any application’s requirements. Choosing the best motor for your individual application requirements will involve research and careful consideration of a number of factors.

Can the quality and performance of aluminium windings compare to those comprised of copper? This is a question that has been discussed and debated over many years.
