  1. What is the Difference Between Tempering and Annealing?

    Comments Off on What is the Difference Between Tempering and Annealing?

    Tempering and annealing processes both apply heat to metal to modify its composition without altering its shape. Heat treating metal can make it more ductile, easier to work with, less brittle, and overall, more reliable for manufacturing and specialized applications. The key difference between the two heat treatments comes down to the cooling method. Tempering […]

  2. What Are Lamination Stacks?

    Comments Off on What Are Lamination Stacks?

    When converting electrical energy to mechanical energy, eddy current loss is common. Too much eddy current loss can result in core power loss. Lamination stacks will suppress eddy current losses and regulate energy. Read on to learn more about lamination stacks and the benefits they offer. What Are Lamination Stacks and How Are They Made? […]

  3. Synchronous Motor vs. Induction Motor

    Comments Off on Synchronous Motor vs. Induction Motor

    Electric motors are pieces of equipment used for converting electricity into mechanical energy. They use electromagnetism to operate, which facilitates the interaction between an electric current and the magnetic field of the motor. This interaction generates torque in a wire winding that causes the motor shaft to spin. Electric motors are often used in applications […]

  4. Brushless vs Brushed Electrical DC Motors

    Comments Off on Brushless vs Brushed Electrical DC Motors

    Electric motors convert electricity into mechanical energy. Most electric motors operate through an interaction between the motor’s magnetic field and winding alternating current (AC) or direct current (DC). Electric motors are used in a wide variety of applications, from fans and power tools to appliances and electric vehicles. DC electric motors can be further classified […]
