Problem: build a combined anemometer and wind vane where the pivots for both sensors are coaxial. Solution: turn an old universal motor into a step-wise potentiometer for the wind vane, and then pu… ...

DC motors may not be the wave of the future, but they certainly have a secure place in today’s workplace (see DC Isn’t Dead). Therefore, it’s worthwhile for electrical professionals to take a look at ...

In this informative video, we guide you step-by-step on how to make a generator using a small DC motor. Perfect for DIY ...

In this engaging DIY tutorial, you'll discover how to make a simple DC motor from scratch. Perfect for beginners and ...

The motor is particularly suitable for applications where high efficiency, high power density and a minimal operating noise are crucial. As with all maxon motor's mechanically commutated drives, the ...

Core-less brushed DC motors have low inertia and inductance. This lets them be used in applications needing dynamic behavior and fast responses from the motor. Using PWM allows precise current ...

The new motor in its 45 mm diameter is available with Hall sensors and comes in four windings (24, 30, 36, 48 V). It can be combined with more than 54 different planetary and spur gearheads.

Toshiba's new 600V small intelligent power devices for brushless DC motor helps reduce mounting area and the size of circuit boards for motor drives.

According to maxon motors, DC motors are limited by their brush system and have a lifespan of 1000-1500 hours; less than 100 hours if under extreme loads. Some motors may operate to 15,000 hours ...
