ElectroCraft Motor and Drive Resource Center
Welcome to the ElectroCraft Motor and Drive Information Center! Here you will find resources and information about ElectroCraft's motor and drive products, including white papers, industry reviews, overview videos and more.
DC motors convert electrical power into mechanical rotation. Output torque and speed depends on the electrical input and motor design. In this Design Guide, the editors of Design World detail the most common dc motor types as well common ways to quantify their output during the design engineering process.
Among the challenges that design and control engineers must address are the pairing of motors with compatible drive electronics. Motors and drives must be properly matched and configured to ensure compatibility and optimal performance in regard to current, voltage, power and control requirements. Incompatibilities can lead to several problems such as motor overheating, excessive noise, inaccurate positioning, poor torque capability or fluctuating speed. Although these challenges can be daunting, there are solutions available to provide an affordable and easy-to-use platform that minimizes potential compatibility issues.
This updated handbook is a helpful guide outlining the design considerations, calculations and application of brushless servo sytems, including helpful engineering formulas and conversion tables.
