Electric Motors & DC Motors

1 - 10 of 166

Double Torque Motors

The SM2315DT Double Torque SmartMotor features an eight-pole compact rotor and high copper filling factor that results in high energy density, efficiency, and torque capacity.

Compact Underwater Turbine

Researchers at the University of Southampton turned an electric motor upside down to create a more efficient generator.

12-MM DC Micromotor

The Series 1224...SR micromotor hits a high power-to-volume ratio through the combination of an ironless rotor and neodymium rare-earth magnets for a stall torque range of 5.43 mNm and speeds to 13,800 rpm.

T-connect for steppers

A nontraditional wiring approach offers midspeed stepmotors high torque with low current.

Keeping cool

Embedded microcontrollers manage dc fans for better cooling while dissipating less energy.

If you can't conserve energy, stay out of the kitchen

Superefficient appliances are washing and drying our clothes, cleaning the dishes, and even heating our homes.

MACHINE DESIGN partners with PARTsolutions to launch new 2D/3D CAD Library

Penton Media's Design Engineering group, anchored by Machine Design magazine, announced today that it has entered into a strategic partnership with PARTsolutions®, LLC, a leading provider of publishing solutions for 2D/3D digital parts catalogs, to launch the Machine Design CAD Library, a powerful, new resource for design engineers.

Component-Class AC Drive

The Allen-Bradley PowerFlex 40P ac drive has encoder or pulse-train input that allows configured closed-loop control for improved speed regulation, basic position control, or other pulse inputs for motor control.

Stepper Motor For Small And Medium-Capacity Ranges

The AS1xxx Series stepper motors have current ratings from 1.0 to 5.0 A and torques ranging between 0.38 and 5 Nm.

Shaft-Grounding Brush

The Aegis SGR conductive microfiber brush prevents electrical damage to ac motor bearings and extends motor life by channeling harmful shaft currents to ground.
