When it’s time to specify a high-performance motor that offers both precise positioning and cost efficiency, stepper motors offer many advantages over DC motors thanks to their brushless technology.

When it comes to engine (and really, overall vehicle) power, the most commonly referenced values are horsepower and torque. Mainly horsepower, which some enthusiasts are always looking for ways to ...

Power and torque are concepts we all know and understand, right? Well, not everybody can accurately describe the difference. Imagine, for a moment, you're stopped at a red light when a slammed '06 BMW ...

Selecting a motor for a specific application can be a challenging task. Many factors must be considered, including the application’s required voltage, maximum current and diameter, speed, efficiency, ...

Turning the i4 electric sedan into an i4 M50 was as easy as twinning its rear motor to provide all-wheel drive that nearly doubles the total power and torque. BMW M's task was tougher on the iX, which ...

A special type of brushless motor is called a limited-angle torquer (LAT). LATs are constrained to produce torque through a rotation angle of less than 180°. But they are widely used to operate ...

This analogy is wreaking havoc with my sanity. Mainly because it is only a semi-analogy. Horsepower and watts are different ways of measuring the same thing. 1HP = 745 watts. But the voltage/current ...

That much unsprung weight seriously degrades a vehicle’s ride quality and dynamic handling while adding considerable cost, and motors at the wheels experience way more shock, vibration, and risk of ...

What's the difference between horsepower and torque? What does it mean to me? An explanation of horsepower and torque, and a ...
