Controlling a small dc motor without speed control sounds like a trivial task; a switch or a relay should suffice. However, several problems accompany this approach. For one, the switch, because of ...

Altech’s load-safe LSF Series and RT Series non-fusible motor disconnect switches and accessories de-energize electrical circuits for safe maintenance, repairs, inspections and emergencies. RS has ...

You use limit switches to switch off a motor if it reaches one of its two end positions. Even if you build a microprocessor-based motor controller, you should switch off a motor with hardware by ...

Menlo Micro’s Ideal Switch can handle 10 A with a 0.010-Ω contact resistance for power-distribution applications like smart ...

The DynaMotor from DynaMotors Inc., Warrensville Heights, Ohio, uses optically controlled solid-state switches embedded in the rotor windings to control current and, thus, torque, making the motor a ...

Electric drives require effective protection against overloads and short circuits. Both phenomena cause motor disruption and create a risk of damage to the motor. This could lead to a potentially ...
