No more "girlie man" gears
or low-backlash designs eliminate clearance issues between gear teeth. They can overcome manufacturing errors and bearing run-out. They also help limit noise in lightly or moderately loaded gears that reverse direction repeatedly. Tooth profiles with custom pressure angles on their forward...

L300P/SJ300 Low Current Trip Function for Pumping Applications (.pdf)
Sometimes it is desirable to have the inverter trip when running at constant speed and the motor current falls below a certain threshold level. In the case of a pump, this would be indicative of absence of fluid in the pump, and hence no load on the motor. This functionality could also be useful...

Stepping Motors
torque is large at low currents but diminishes near rated current. Enhanced motors also have large negative torques at low current. But positive-acting flux from the permanent magnets in the stator overcomes the small negative torque generated at rated current. The resulting torque then aids the pole...

AC Motors
starting current, and low slip. This design is built to obtain low locked-rotor current. Both locked-rotor and breakdown torque are low. Normally used where starting torque is low and where high overloads are not imposed after running speed is reached. Wound-rotor motors: Squirrel-cage motors...

When Planetary Gears meet Servomotors
. This can improve performance through lower RMS current and quicker setting times. Fewer components also offer compact packaging compared to bolt-on reducers. Bolt-on gear-heads frequently use right-angle gears to reduce the length a reducer extends beyond a machine. Right-angle gears, however, require...

Torque motors do the trick
be built as thin rings. It also means they can have smooth velocity regulation with low ripple. However, eddy-current losses in brushless motors increase with the number of pole pairs, which constrains the maximum practical number of pole pairs. As a result, torque motors are primarily designed...

Definite and Special-Purpose Motors
in the armature. Toothless construction provides more space for armature coils and provides higher current ratings. Iron losses are cut by 50%, and armature inductance approaches that for cup motors. Toothless motors do not cog at low speed. And because coil insertion is easier, motor diameters can...

Appliance motors turn green
to traditional fixed-speed units. Variable-speed systems also let designers specify smaller and less-expensive motors and thereby continue to offer attractive prices to consumers. Low-cost induction motors dominated the fixed-speed appliance era, but are not necessarily the best choice for variable-speed schemes...

Motor sizing made simple
and low inertia. Type A motors have medium to high starting currents that create rapid heat buildup. The high starting torque of Design D motors handles the very high-inertia loads with lower starting current, minimizing heat buildup in the motor during start. But the lower starting current means...
