Torque motors are frameless kit motors consisting of a permanent-magnet rotor and laminated stator. A bridge keeps the rotor and stator aligned while the torque motor is assembled. Torque motors come ...

I recently ran into an interesting dilemma while running tests on TI’s new InstaSPIN™-FOC sensorless motor control software. “How do you define motor torque?” On the surface, this sounds like an easy ...

In a recent article, I wrote about step-motor system performance emphasizing key concepts that all engineers need to understand about this widely-used electro-magnetic-mechanical digital actuator. As ...

All the motors produce either interaction torque, reluctance torque or a combination of both. The second article in this series discussed the underlying principles common to all motors. As we have ...
