There are several types of DC motors, including shunt, series, compound wound or stabilized shunt, permanent magnet, and brushless DC. The main differences between these types of motors revolve around how the electromagnetic fields are generated. For example, in a permanent magnet motor, the magnetic field in the stator is supplied by permanent magnets positioned just inside the frame of the motor.
Many engineering advancements provide small incremental gains of efficiency, cost, and functionality. However, some engineering milestones provide giant leaps of improvement. Once commercialized, these are “game changer products” that can help redefine entire industries. Centrifugal turbo compressors and blowers are one such development. They offer double digit efficiency gains compared to positive displacement and multistage centrifugal compressors.
JVL has recently developed a new and unique product in the field of integrated motor control. JVL presents a new AC Servo Motor with built-in controller, Nano-PLC and direct AC mains supply with same capacity and length as traditional servo motors.
Backed by its wealth of expertise in the development of rotary servomotors, Beckhoff has added an innovative product to its portfolio in the area of drive technology. The AL8000 series, a new generation of high‐performance and modular linear motors, was developed in cooperation with Fertig Motors, the dynamically growing Beckhoff subsidiary.
