Hall-Based BLDC Gate Drive Saves Microprocessor IO and Provides Zero Speed Torque

SENSORS IN BLDC MOTORS

Many BLDC motor applications require Hall-based position sensing to accommodate direction changes quickly and provide holding torque. For example, a robotic lawnmower, ebike, or personal mobility device must be able to stop on an incline but must not roll backwards. Anot... Read more...

As automated guided vehicles (AGVs) and autonomous mobile robots (AMRs) become more commonplace in warehouses and factories, design engineers are working on next generation platforms that can move faster and more efficiently while continuing to operate safely in collaboration with their human counterparts.

One of the key elements of an AGV or AMR is the battery powered, Read more...

Patients usually are not aware of it, but drive systems are always at their side in medical applications where failure must not happen. Whatever your medical application needs may be, our broad portfolio of drive systems and accessories is always the right prescription. Download this white paper to learn more. Read more...

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. Read more...
