In the first installment of this series, "Calculating a practical hotspot safety margin", we discussed how two-parameter thermal models assume that the entire motor, including windings, exhibits one ...

Don't let failing oxygen sensors compromise your engine's performance. O2 sensors are critical to emissions control on your car, SUV or truck. As the name implies, the O2 sensor (also called an ...

Two of the most critical components that help power your car's internal combustion engine are the crankshaft and the camshaft(s). The two parts are vital for sending power to various areas of your ...

In its exhibit at PACK EXPO Connects, ABB featured its Baldor-Reliance EC Titanium motor drive and smart sensors for OEMs and end users. Primarily targeted at OEMs, the Baldor-Reliance EC Titanium ...

As previously mentioned, the feedback sensors include position sensors to track the rotor’s location, current sensors to measure the motor phase currents, voltage sensors to monitor the DC bus voltage ...

The engine test stands used with advanced data-acquisition systems require a different type of pressure sensor than those used in the past. Engine hydraulics and pneumatics operate faster and often, ...

Here is a motor speed sensor module, the major goal is to check the rate of an electric motor. The module can be used in association with a microcontroller for motor speed detection, pulse count, ...

There are a million and one things that could go wrong with a car engine. In old times, it was solely up to the owner and/or technician to drudge through possible issues until they determined what was ...

Over the past few decades, Honda's B-series has been modified, pushed to its limits (and beyond), and repurposed more times than we can remember. And whether it's the simple engine swap and street ...
