Emerson is introducing an expanded line of self-tensioning motor bases to its Browning product offering. These bases promote maintenance-free sustainment of drive efficiency. The product automatically ...

Here are some answers to frequently asked questions about motor control. Motors provide the driving power in almost every stage of the manufacturing and production process. With this much productive ...

Speed, torque, and horsepower are three inter-related parameters in motor control. The speed of a motor, measured in revolutions per minute (rpm), defines a motor's ability to spin at a rate per unit ...

How does a typical wind-unwind system work? Perhaps the best way to describe this system is by examining a multiple-web converter — a handling system that converts many individual web streams into one ...

“A bunch of things are coming together.” That's how V Sukumar, a senior applications manager for Fairchild Semiconductor, begins a discussion of trends in motor control for the white-goods market.

Variable frequency drives convert ac power to dc and then reshape that current to control ac motors. All types control speed by varying current frequency, but one subtype — flux vector drives — uses ...
