The case of a pulsating-load testing machine shows how to ballpark qualities that are important for deploying electric motors. Crankshafts in running internal-combustion engines pulsate as well as ...

Translational and rotational motion are compared and contrasted. Rotational Inertia &Torque: Translational and rotational motion are compared and contrasted. Students learn to distinguish between ...

Step motors are a natural choice when design specs call for low-cost automation with accurate, open-loop control. But finding the right stepper for a given application can be a challenge. There’s a ...

In this episode of Crash Course Physics, Shini sits down with us to discuss what torque is, how it works, why it works, and what it all has to do with this thing called "Moment of Inertia." Crash ...

As machine builders push for higher throughput, tighter control accuracy, and smaller footprints, the selection of servo ...

When it’s time to specify a high-performance motor that offers both precise positioning and cost efficiency, stepper motors offer many advantages over DC motors thanks to their brushless technology.

Torque is an important factor in much of the equipment on a factory floor. Measuring torque is often something that's misunderstood, which can lead to over- under-designing of measurement systems.
