The original brushless DC (BLDC) motors were designed with slotted stators, and the majority of BLDC motors are still made this way. But this design produces cogging torque, which makes it difficult to achieve smooth motion, especially at slow speeds. To eliminate this effect, a new design was developed, eliminating the slots in the stator (which […]

For South African Breweries (SAB), an automated and networked Ethernet/IP-based control system will integrate traditionally disparate, malt-production processes into a single, networked, Ethernet/IP-based solution for plant-wide visibility and actionable data. The maltings plant in Alrode, South Africa, will account for more than half of the brewery’s South African and Namibian malt production when fully commissioned…

When designing its synchronous reluctance motor and drive (SynRM) packages for twin extruder applications, ABB had several objectives. The goal from the outset was creating 15% lower energy usage, lower motor maintenance costs and a drop in audible noise. Radius Systems’ plant in Derbyshire, UK, houses 14 extrusion lines, each of which produces polyethylene pipes…

AMETEK Dynamic Fluid Solutions has added two new advanced metrology tools at its Rock Creek, NC, manufacturing facility, enhancing its inspection, compliance and quality-control capabilities.

Mobile Hydraulic Tips

by Chris Francis Electric motors are everywhere. For example, whereas in the past a car would have had only one electric motor – for starting – (and if you go back far enough, not even that), now they have dozens of them. They control windows, mirrors, ventilation flaps and engine functions. Even power steering is…
