We’ve all been to the trade shows where semiconductor vendors are showing their motor control solutions running a motor with a simple flag or disc to show that the motor is actually moving (I’m guilty ...

Getting the best possible performance out of your motion system is important. A poorly tuned regulator can result in wasted energy, wasted material or an unstable system. It is important that speed ...

A testing machine can be used to push, pull or twist a sample of the material in order to determine the mechanical properties of a material. Many materials are strain rate sensitive which means that ...

Over three decades ago, real-time software was predominantly written in assembly language or a combination of assembly and the C programming language. Even today, certain digital signal processing ...

Vector Control, also known as Field Oriented Control or FOC is an AC motor control scheme that enables fine-grained control over a connected motor, through the precise control of its phases. In a ...

EV drivetrain testing with a bidirectional DC source and regenerative DC load simplifies test setup, avoids catastrophic damage, and decreases test times. The regenerative electronic load uniquely ...

This system has a maximum kinetic power rating of 4 W and maximum speed rating of 100,000 rpm. Potential applications include testing miniature motors used in medical and laboratory equipment, ...
