Industry 4.0 is seen as the new era of manufacturing, combining technology, robotics, artificial intelligence and automation to create an efficient and effective manufacturing process. Industrial use ...

To understand the concept of high efficiency motors, you must first know how to calculate efficiency and the losses associated with the motor components themselves. This article reviews the basic ...

In a little more than a year from now, most of your new motors must meet new efficiency levels mandated by federal legislation. On October 24 of next year and thereafter, most new motors manufactured ...

Most servomotors have an efficiency in the range of 50 to 60%. But it is possible to devise positioning-motor architectures that deliver far better efficiency. One such class of devices is the Maxon ...

As a group, electric motors represent one of the best opportunities to save energy and reduce operating costs in a power plant. The U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) estimates that American industry ...

Since AC induction motors have been established as the preferred choice for industrial motors and the need for reduced power in all aspects of design is ever present, the efficiency of these motors is ...

Energy makes up 80 percent of the cost of owning and operating a motor over its lifespan. That’s why motor makers have spent decades trying to build ever more energy-efficient designs. But with ...

After its successful development of industrial electric motors (three-phase induction motors) with super-premium class efficiency (IE4) for the first time in Korea, the Electric Machine and Drive ...

In May 2025, ABB broke its own world record for energy efficiency in large synchronous electric motors. The new motor, designed in line with its Top Industrial Efficiency (TIE) initiative, is destined ...

Continuing headlines about superefficient electric drives might lead some observers to wonder about the future of three-phase induction motors. The truth is that induction motors aren’t going away any ...

ORLANDO, Fla. — Inside HVAC forced-air and hydronics systems alike, motors are hard at work blowing air, circulating water, cooling compressors, and more. And, while there are still a significant ...

Operational efficiency refers to how well a business manages its resources and uses them to produce profits. While the best practices for maximizing operational efficiency are different for each ...
