Understanding AC Induction, Permanent Magnet and Servo Motor Technologies

This new eBook, Understanding AC induction, permanent magnet and servo motor technologies, is an exhaustive technical overview of AC induction motors, permanent-magnet motors, and servomotors — the three major technologies with partially overlapping functionalities for sophisticated applications. This illustrated engineering handbook is an essential reference for all engineers tasked with motor selection for machinery in which multiple motor types may be suitable. Topics: • Operation and technology overview of the three motor types • Capabilities for force, torque, speed for each motor considered • Caveats: Limitations, performance challenges, and potential concerns • Explanation of where each motor type is most suitable and unsuitable
