  2. Torque motor - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Torque_motor

    The latter monitors engine speed by counting electrical pulses from the ignition system or from a magnetic pickup and, depending on the speed, makes small adjustments to the amount of current applied to the motor. If the engine starts to slow down relative to the desired speed, the current will be increased, the motor will develop more torque ...

  3. Direct torque control - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Direct_torque_control

    The direct torque method performs very well even without speed sensors. However, the flux estimation is usually based on the integration of the motor phase voltages. Due to the inevitable errors in the voltage measurement and stator resistance estimate the integrals tend to become erroneous at low speed. Thus it is not possible to control the ...

  4. Electronic speed control - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Electronic_speed_control

    An electronic speed control (ESC) is an electronic circuit that controls and regulates the speed of an electric motor. It may also provide reversing of the motor and dynamic braking. Miniature electronic speed controls are used in electrically powered radio controlled models. Full-size electric vehicles also have systems to control the speed of ...

  5. Electric motor - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Electric_motor

    An industrial electric motor . An electric motor is a machine that converts electrical energy into mechanical energy.Most electric motors operate through the interaction between the motor's magnetic field and electric current in a wire winding to generate force in the form of torque applied on the motor's shaft.

  6. Reluctance motor - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Reluctance_motor

    Rotor losses are minimal compared to those of an induction motor, however it normally has less torque. [2] [3] Once started at synchronous speed, the motor can operate with sinusoidal voltage. Speed control requires a variable-frequency drive. High-powered SynRMs typically require rare-earth elements such as neodymium and dysprosium. However, a ...

  7. Superconducting electric machine - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Superconducting_electric...

    A superconducting rotor does not have the inherent damping of a conventional rotor. Its speed may hunt or oscillate around its synchronous speed. Motor bearings need to be able to withstand cold or need to be insulated from the cold rotor. As a synchronous motor, electronic control is essential for practical operation.

  8. Engine braking - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Engine_braking

    In electric and hybrid vehicles, electric motors provide the drivetrain resistance, recharging the onboard battery using energy recovered from the vehicle's kinetic motion which would otherwise have been wasted. In hybrid vehicles, the engine runs on electric power to dissipate excess energy when the battery has been fully recharged.

  9. Cogging torque - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cogging_torque

    Cogging torque of electrical motors is the torque due to the interaction between the permanent magnets of the rotor and the stator slots of a permanent magnet machine. It is also known as detent or no-current torque. This torque is position dependent and its periodicity per revolution depends on the number of magnetic poles and the number of ...
