Top 5 Engineering Notes from 2020

Find the answers to common motion control questions from a product specialist's perspective. These Engineering Notes are ranked by total page views in 2020.

	Motor Sizing Basics Part 1 - Load Torque Proper sizing of a motor requires that 3 criteria must be met: torque, load inertia, and speed.
	Motor Sizing Basics Part 2 - Load Inertia Other than torque or speed, another factor should be considered when sizing motors.
	Fan Basics: Air Flow, Static Pressure, and Impedance Similar to a stepper motor's speed-torque curve, this graph is how manufacturers show the performance of their fans, and where the air flow and static pressure specifications come from.
	Control Basics: The Difference Between Sink and Source Logic The difficulty starts when engineers or manufacturers use different wiring terminology.
	The Differences Between Brushed and Brushless DC Motors They are both DC permanent magnet motors since they both use a segmented permanent magnet rotor.
