Torque motors are frameless kit motors consisting of a permanent-magnet rotor and laminated stator. A bridge keeps the rotor and stator aligned while the torque motor is assembled. Torque motors come ...

When it’s time to specify a high-performance motor that offers both precise positioning and cost efficiency, stepper motors offer many advantages over DC motors thanks to their brushless technology.

In this episode of Crash Course Physics, Shini sits down with us to discuss what torque is, how it works, why it works, and what it all has to do with this thing called "Moment of Inertia." Crash ...
