Free webinar: DC motor types, usage

On Feb. 03, 2015, 11:00am EST, join Electromate’s webinar to learn about the guidelines for selecting the perfect DC motor type for your application.


Greenville, Delaware – This webinar gives you guidelines for selecting the perfect DC motor type for your application.

  • Is a brushed or a brushless design more adapted?
  • Does a flat pancake type motor fit better or should it be an elongated cylindrical one?
  • Are motors with a slotted iron core winding design the right choice, or should it be a motor with a slotless winding?

For motor selection, it is important to know the particular requirements of each application.

  • How large are torque and speed? Are there any gears involved?
  • How is the motor operated and controlled? What is the required precision of control?
  • What are the restrictions on size and weight?
  • How about special ambient conditions such as temperature and pressure?

Before answering these questions, the webinar starts with having a look at the properties of all kind of small DC motors with permanent magnets.

  • Which motor designs are adapted for high speed or high torque?
  • How to select motors according to torque and speed requirements
  • What are the particular advantages of brushed or brushless motors?
  • How does a slotted or slotless winding design influence motor performance?
  • What is the role of gears?

The webinar illustrates the findings on a multitude of typical application examples. The presenter will be Dr. Urs Kafader from Maxon Motor.
