According to the company in reference to its pancake-style, planetary gear train motors, for a given size motor, the larger the size of the rotor, the greater the torque capability will be. One ...

A special type of brushless motor is called a limited-angle torquer (LAT). LATs are constrained to produce torque through a rotation angle of less than 180°. But they are widely used to operate ...

Magnetic couplings transmit high torque with no physical contact, and they disengage smoothly when load gets too high. Generally speaking, the couplings use magnetic power in three different ways; ...

A frameless motor is essentially the active torque and speed-producing element of a conventional motor, but without the shaft, bearings, housing, feedback or endbells. It consists of two main parts: ...

PSC motors rely on the rotating magnetic field that is generated by the applied alternating voltage and corresponding alternating current to turn the rotor. The magnetic field rotates at 3,600 rpm (60 ...

Torque motors are also called "frameless" motors. They don't have housings, bearings, or feedback devices. In this sense the motor is a kit and meant to be part of the machine structure. Torque motors ...

We’ve been intrigued by Orbis’ many different swings at providing in-wheel motors that add little or no un-sprung weight ever since company founder Marcus Hays brought us a PHEV Civic Type R with an ...

Robert Sansone is a natural born engineer. From animatronic hands to high-speed running boots and a go-kart that can reach speeds of more than 70 miles per hour, the Fort Pierce, Florida-based ...
