In this informative video, you'll learn how to create and assemble electric motors suitable for powering a plane. We'll cover ...

Anyone who uses engineered products is probably aware of “specmanship.” Simply put, specmanship is the art of manipulating theoretical and experimental data to cast a product in a better light. It ...

We’ve seen plenty of motor projects, but [Jeremy]’s DIY Tubular Linear Motor is a really neat variety of stepper motor in a format we certainly don’t see every day. It started as a design experiment ...

Electric vehicles are becoming an increasingly common sight for most people. Whether it's seeing a shiny new Tesla drive down the street, or hopping on a light rail train or renting an electric ...

To run a stepper motor smoothly, it's necessary to apply linear acceleration. However, conventional algorithms to generate linear acceleration require complicated mathematics, which makes it difficult ...

[Raul] built a cheap linear actuator out of a drawer slide and a surplus flatbed scanner. A few builds we’ve seen, like the PCB drill press or the horribly inefficient thermostat, used linear ...

The running joke in the Hunstable family was that Fred Hunstable never knew that garages were where you parked your cars. Instead, they served as places for the nuclear and electrical engineer to ...

The things often prioritized in the list of requirements of design engineers from the precision automation sector are different from those of their colleagues in the instrumentation industry. Dynamic ...

Engineers who have designed motion control systems have most likely worked with pulse width modulated (PWM) drives. These drives are the default choice in most day-to-day motion control jobs, thanks ...

AMHERST, N.Y.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Allied Motion Technologies Inc. (Nasdaq: AMOT) (“Allied Motion” or the “Company”), a designer and manufacturer of precision and specialty controlled motion products and ...
