Application Notes
A senior engineer shares a costly mistake he made when specifying a servo driver for a custom motion control system, and the checklist he created to prevent others from repeating his error.
A firsthand account from an emergency specialist at US Motors, covering real experiences with US-made brushless motors for drones, NEMA 23 stepper motors, MG90S servo motors, and the story of Pete Jackson gear drives.
Choosing the right industrial motor isn't a one-size-fits-all decision. This guide breaks down the key application scenarios—precision positioning, variable speed, and high torque—to help you match the correct motor type (AC, DC, servo, stepper, or brushless) to your specific needs, with a focus on total cost of ownership.
A procurement-focused checklist outlining 5 steps to accurately select industrial motors, avoid specification errors, and control total cost of ownership, including real-world FLA and torque checks.
A practical FAQ covering US Motors D-series specs (D60P1GS, D75P2G), full-load amps, induction motors vs servos, VFD basics, and speed reducers — written by someone who's made the mistakes so you don't have to.
A quality manager reviews US Motors DC/AC servo and stepper specifications, explaining which data sheet numbers are critical and which are often misunderstood. Includes real-world examples from motor selection and VFD integration.
Why tracking down a US Motors D75P2G datasheet or D20P1G datasheet isn't enough for emergency orders. A look at what engineers often miss and why it leads to last-minute scrambles.
A practical comparison between hybrid stepper motors and NEMA 23 stepper motors. Based on real procurement mistakes that cost time and budget. Includes torque curves, control requirements, and application-specific advice.
A no-nonsense FAQ answering the most common questions about US Motors products, servo motor basics, pool pump sizing, and how to avoid costly mistakes in urgent projects.
A quality manager at US Motors explains why common spec assumptions (like FLA values and VFD compatibility) are often wrong, and how reading data sheets correctly saves time and money.
