What’s a switched reluctance motor?

Switched reluctance motors use electromagnetic forces to produce torque. They have high power output and few moving parts, but can be noisy and inefficient for low torque applications. Digital technologies can help optimize performance and increase efficiency, making them feasible for high-volume or high-power applications. A switched reluctance motor works through the manipulation of electromagnetic […]

What’s a reluctance motor?

A reluctance motor uses magnetic reluctance to generate torque, producing temporary magnetic poles on its rotor. It has high power density but generates torque ripple and noise at low speed. Advances in computer design tools have helped overcome design limitations and decreasing microprocessor costs provide adequate control. The stator and rotor are made of malleable […]
