Book Description

ISBN-10: 0750639318 | ISBN-13: 978-0750639316 | Publication Date: January 31, 2000 | Edition: 1

Industrial use of the brushless servomotor, for instance in robotics, is increasing rapidly, because of their low maintenance needs and capabilities at high transient speeds. They offer flexibility and high performance, and advances in power electronics and microelectronics means they are now more affordable.

This handbook gives the user of brushless servomotors a comprehensive guide to their use, including a description of all main features of the brushless motor drive system. Throughout mathematics is kept to a minimum and practical guidance is given based on real-life experience.

Peter Moreton is a Research Fellow at the University of Bristol, having spent time in industry and universities worldwide.

Written by a respected expert in the field - Peter Moreton has both high level academic and industrial experience

Indispensible guide to a rapidly growing new area of technology

Concise and accessible with a minimum of maths

This review is from: Industrial Brushless Servomotors (Newnes Power Engineering Series) (Hardcover)

I just bought a copy from the german Amazon and I have to say that this book is exactly what I was looking for. I had already browsed the sample pages (what a great feature!) to see if it had what I wanted, so it's no surprise that I'm happy with it.

The book explains the principle of operation, different servomotor types, types of brushless commutation, dynamics and equivalent circuits. Written in plain language and with a lot of figures, I think this book is a must for those who don't know much about brushless servomotors and are looking for a good and understandable explanation.
