Blindly assuming the dynamic peak torques listed on servomotor data sheets for a design almost always results in over-sized, inappropriately expensive gearboxes. A motor’s acceleration peak torque is ...

Even with simulation, critical failure modes like resonance-induced fatigue and connection looseness can emerge during ...

This file type includes high resolution graphics and schematics when applicable. Often, technical analysis forces engineers to find missing pieces of information before they can proceed with design ...

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, ...

In general terms, power amplifiers (PAs) used in communications systems must be large enough to amplify envelope peaks. This leads to amplifiers designed to offer the best efficiency at peak power ...

The simplest model of a battery comprises an ideal voltage source that connects in series with a resistance whose value—often a few milliohms—depends on the battery’s electrochemical condition and ...

Static and dynamic tests load the pallet until failure or limiting deflection; the nominal load (lowest safe load) and maximum working load (in specific support conditions) derive from these tests.
