Diagnosing Armature Defects in Running DC Motors: A Practical Guide

Stepper Motor vs Servo Motor A stepper motor is a digital motor that moves its rotor in discrete steps rather than rotating continuously. When energized but stopped, it holds its load with a reliable holding torque. The widespread adoption of stepper motors in the last two decades was made possible

After arriving in America, Charles Proteus Steinmetz tackled the perplexing challenges of designing brushed AC commutator motors, which previously could not be reliably engineered before construction. His breakthrough came by formalizing magnetic hysteresis, revealing how the magnetic flux lags behi

What is Ultrasonic Testing? Ultrasonic testing is a form of nondestructive testing that uses sound waves to evaluate the mechanical properties of materials.  The term ultrasonics is often used to describe this family of techniques, although it is more accurate to refer to them as ultraso

AC motors and encoders are two important parts of a robot. They give the robot purpose. Without them, there would be no motion, and without motion, the robot has no purpose – unless, of course, someone wants a large industrial robotics statue for their living room or workplace.An AC
