A synchronous and synchronous motors are the two main categories of ac motors. The induction motor is a common form of asynchronous motor and is basically an ac transformer with a rotating secondary.

With the increasingly detailed division of labor in the motor manufacturing industry, a number of motor factories have taken the stator core as a purchased part or commissioned outsourcing part.

The primary feature of stepper motors is listed right within their name: their ability to ‘step’ forwards and backwards, something which they (ideally) can do perfectly in sync with the input provided ...

The use of axial flux motors is gaining traction across industries, particularly in the electric motor space. Axial flux motors or pancake motors are mechanically configured to provide specific ...

Before we dive in any further, if you're not familiar with the different types of EV motors used in vehicles, we have a thorough E-Motor 101 course. Feel free to open that in another tab and use it as ...

Serious engineering work on contra-rotating open rotors for aircraft propulsion dates back to the late 1940s, particularly as a means to enhance fuel efficiency and extend the endurance of long-range ...

With the internal combustion engine (ICE) being a staple of multiple forms of transportation since the late 19th century, most people are at least somewhat familiar with how an engine works: fuel and ...

When was the last time you stopped to think about how electric cars actually work? We superfans of the car biz have mostly developed a reasonable understanding of how combustion powertrains work. Most ...
