As previously mentioned, the feedback sensors include position sensors to track the rotor’s location, current sensors to measure the motor phase currents, voltage sensors to monitor the DC bus voltage ...

In the first installment of this series, "Calculating a practical hotspot safety margin", we discussed how two-parameter thermal models assume that the entire motor, including windings, exhibits one ...

The P0118 code means that the engine control module (ECM) has detected a voltage signal that’s too high from the engine ...

Infrared temperature sensors, used for many years in process control and manufacturing, are now accepted for use in passenger vehicles. Production, reliability and cost issues had to be solved. In ...

Bipolar Hall-effect sensors are used in BLDC motors to detect the position of the rotating magnet. In this example, an eight-pole motor with a three-phase winding uses three bipolar latching ...

Ever-more complex industrial motor control requires methods to enhance precision. Enter the inductive position sensor. The benefits of a dual inductive rotary sensor. How inductive position sensors ...

• The thermal models that servomotor manufacturers provide may not hold for brief periods of superhigh torque. • More accurate thermal models for periods of high performance use equations with more ...

The Apple iPhone brought the benefits of integrated multi-sensor technology to the masses, and while the application of sensors and their associated algorithms has multiplied and changed the world ...
