Understanding Micro Motors: A Practical 1/2 Day Course presented by Dr. Urs Kafader, maxon motor ag

March 16, 2010 - March 17, 2010

This half-day seminar provides the practical information you need to successfully select the right DC motor -- be it brushed or brushless -- for your application. You'll learn about the interpretation of motor data and how you can use this information for motor sizing. Whether you need high speed and dynamics or just high torque, this seminar will teach you to size a drive with just the right power reserves, avoiding costly oversized motors.
