The thyristor d.c. drive remains an important speed-controlled industrial drive, especially where the higher maintenance cost associated with the d.c. motor brushes (c.f. induction motor) is tolerable ...

Sponsored by Texas Instruments: With the driver ICs available today, brushed DC motor control is a snap to integrate in building-, home-, and industrial-automation applications. Motors are everywhere, ...

The DC motor is widely used in the field of servo automation and robotics. The operating principle of an electric motor is based on the interaction of two magnetic fields that attract and repel each ...

So your electronic hobby skills are coming along quite nicely but you’re not very comfortable doing more than blinking a few LEDs. Now’s a good time to try something new by driving a couple of DC ...

Specifics about high-power-density motors (HPDMs). Applications best served with HPDMs. Why BLDCs are perhaps the most preferred among HPDM architectures. High power density is an important ...

En route to getting the off-the-peg DC-51 motor speed controller to better suit my small milling machine, I had a go at working out what the circuit is. Approx circuit of DC-51 motor speed controller ...

I have been trying to fix a little old milling machine I bought (and here), and needed a replacement motor controller. It is a Clarke DCM10, a variant of Sieg’s X1, sometimes knows as a ‘micro mill’.
