Adaptive Algorithm Stops Cogging in Brushless Motors

 

 
High-performance motion-control applications commonly use three-phase permanent-magnet synchronous motors, popularly known as brushless motors. These motors are typically operated by servodrives that deliver sinusoidal currents to produce a relatively smooth motion.

Products & Services
Linear motors generate force only in the direction of travel. They are capable of extremely high speeds, quick acceleration, and accurate positioning. Search by Specification | Learn more about Linear Motors
Gearmotors consist of an AC or DC motor with an integral gearbox or gear head that steps delivered speed up or down. Search by Specification | Learn more about Gearmotors
DC motors are most commonly used in variable speed and torque applications. They include brushless and gear motors, as well as servomotors. Search by Specification | Learn more about DC Motors
