Because most servo motors are small, their armature resistances are relatively high: the short-circuit (locked-rotor) current at full armature voltage is therefore perhaps only five times the ...

Design engineers have long struggled with manual calculations and spreadsheets to properly size servo motors and drives for new machines. A recently launched update of Mitsubishi Electric’s Motorizer ...

The challenge for an equipment designer is to determine if the application requires a high-performance motor or if a conventional motor can do the job. Thomas J. Batek of Bodine Electric Co. A new ...
