The KL2531 and KL2541 stepper motor terminals are designed as a compact and cost-effective I/O alternative to traditional stepper controls. These bus terminals integrate a compact motion control ...

Single-phase motors are common in many industries and can be found in blowers, pumps, fans, lathes, and numerous other types of equipment. Single-phase motor failures or malfunctions can often be ...

Loose electrical connections to motor terminals can cause voltage drop, overheating, and a chance of fire. For three-phase motors, a loose connection can cause single phasing — which will damage the ...

As variable frequency drives (VFDs) are becoming the primary go-to solution for motor control, their capability is not something that can be matched. With every new generation comes better performance ...

Motors and their associated equipment must be protected against both overload and overcurrent (short circuit or ground fault). This function is usually split, with ...

Many applications using miniature brushed DC motors require motors to operate at more than one load point or through specific load cycles. Running a motor at usable load points requires a variable, ...

The tips and tricks when testing motor-driver ICs on the lab bench can help engineers reduce time spent on evaluating and prototyping motor systems. The first installment of this two-part article ...

The QPC series of AC motor run capacitors feature locking push-wire terminals that speed installation and eliminate soldering. A metal mounting bracket also speeds assembly. Standard values range from ...
