PM Servomotor or Induction Motor – Which is Right for Your Application?
|
When deciding to use permanent magnet servomotors or induction motor systems it's vital to consider more than horsepower – dynamic performance, torque density, inertia matching and control schemes must be taken into account.
|
 |
|
|
An even in situations where two motors appear capable of getting the job done, understanding the gray areas can be a significant help in discerning which technology is the best fit for a particular application.
Learn more about selecting the right motor technology in our new educational technology white paper, Permanent Magnet Servomotor and Induction Motor Considerations.
