When designing a brushless motor into your application there is more to consider than just the speed, torque and voltage ratings. Inductance, Coulomb Friction, and Viscous Damping also have a great effect on the winding choice. If these parameters are ignored, you run a high chance of not having enough input power to run your torque/speed profile. This paper explains how to determine the best winding choice.
If an application requires high speed, quiet operation, low EMI and longevity, then brushless DC technology (BLDC) might be what you’re looking for in a motion solution. While Brushless DC motors have an overwhelming number of advantages, there are also a few counterpoints to be aware of before making the commitment to go brushless. This quick guide breaks down advantages of brushless technology, cost (versus a brush DC motor), and how to determine the ideal motor type for a particular application.

Why use the Chemical Process (CP) Option?
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 shaft. A radical new coupling design can help you strike that balance.
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 wire is wound. The windings in slotless motors are made possible by specialized winding process technology, such as the Parallex windings offered by PITTMAN. Motors featuring these windings offer several benefits such as low cogging, low vibration and low noise enabling smooth operation, as well as reduced rotational losses enabling higher speeds with reduced heating. These characteristics are especially advantageous in applications requiring high power output in an ergonomic design, such as high-power hand-held devices like surgical tools.  |

Brushless DC motor phase and sensor leads must be connected in a precise phase configuration for proper operation. Often the proper connection information is unavailable or explained differently from multiple suppliers. This paper explains the importance of the phasing relationship between motor sensor and phase leads, how the relationship can be measured and finally how to ensure the proper connections.  |

| What is Combitronic, exactly, and how can this powerful motor-to-motor communications capability help me more easily implement multi-motor applications and get them to market faster?
Moog Animatics has introduced a new servo motor communication technology called “Combitronic.” This capability greatly simplifies conventional servo motor communications while also providing a powerful set of beneficial features. The ease of use and features provided by Combitronic technology are not available from any other motor manufacturer in the industry! To explain the benefits of Combitronic technology, Moog Animatics has created the technical paper “Understanding Combitronic Technology – How Combitronic Technology Simplifies Servo Motor Communications and Deployment”, which describes Combitronic technology, its features and how it operates with the Class 5 SmartMotor™. Program examples and photos show how Combitronic technology provides the foundation for successful and simple motor-to-motor communications. (The downloadable technical paper also includes embedded videos that demonstrate the capabilities of this powerful technology.)   |
