Plastic solutions for automotive manufacture and design
Engine flywheel couplings have to strike a delicate balance when it comes to stiffness. On one hand, they have to be rigid enough to transmit torque efficiently and avoid resonance problems. On the other, they have to be flexible enough to handle any misalignment between the motor and the drive … [Read more...]
Comparing Slotted vs. Slotless Brushless DC Motors
Slotless brushless DC motors represent a unique and compelling subset of motors within the larger category of brushless DC motors. They are called “slotless” be-cause typical slotted brushless DC motors contain a stator core of laminated steel composed of slots separated by teeth around which copper … [Read more...]
