Combining the advantages of permanent magnet and induction motors, new synchronous reluctance motors (SynRM) offer potentially breakthrough technology for variable speed drive (VSD) and motor packages ...

An introduction to the symmetric, multiphase, wound-rotor “synchronous” doubly-fed motor or generator system, called SYNCHRO-SYM. How SYNCHRO-SYM is only possible with brushless, automatic, ...

Nidec Corporation (TSE: 6594; OTC US: NJDCY) (the “Company” or “Nidec”) announced today that it has launched for the US market SynRA (Synchronous Reluctance Motor with Aluminum Cage Rotor), the ...

Apple is working on a three-phase AC induction motor suitable for an Apple Car, implementing the same basic engineering and motor design principles that Tesla uses. Titled "Electric motor with bar ...

Robert Sansone is a natural born engineer. From animatronic hands to high-speed running boots and a go-kart that can reach speeds of more than 70 miles per hour, the Fort Pierce, Florida-based ...

Matching drive to motor is essential to gain the best combination of torque, speed, and efficiency. Selecting the right drive is essential to getting the best performance and efficiency from an ...

The way we control the speed of fan motors or pump motors has tremendously changed in the past two decades with the introduction of variable-frequency drives (VFDs), aka variable-frequency controllers ...

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 ...
