How To Select a DC Motor Coil Based on the Required Working Point and Power Supply
Although DC motors have a common operating principle, many applications — including portable medical devices like infusion pumps — require one that converts electrical energy to mechanical energy with the highest efficiency to achieve a long, reliable service life. This is typically where an ironless DC motor comes in.Topics: Portescap, DC motors, ironless DC motors, Portescap 16DCT ironless DC motor, Athlonix ironless DC motor, DC motor coil selection, DC motors for portable medical devices, high-efficiency DC motors, motor coil selection

Choosing a Motor for Electronic Pipettes
When it comes to dispensing a specific volume of liquid in a lab environment, pipettes are essential. Electronic air displacement pipettes have taken the lead due to the needfor a high level of precision and accuracy required for repeated use over a periodof time. With the improvement of a digital interface for adjusting aspiration or dispensing, electronic pipettes offer a huge advantage and relief from ergonomic methods.
The motor is the key element in the design. When design engineers specify a motor they must consider factors such as motor power, size and weight, and control electronics. Let’s look at the two most considered motor options - stepper motors and DC motors to help determine the fit for your application.

With summertime just around the corner and podiatry studios slowly reopening after the COVID-19 shutdown, taking good care of one's feet is becoming more relevant than ever. To be able to offer a professional treatment a podologist depends on a reliable and well-performing podiatry device. The motor situated in the handpiece of such a device is a critical component, which will strongly influence whether the device simply performs its job or if the same task can be achieved with outstanding user-friendliness and customer satisfaction.

Finding the right motor can be a challenge. Often a product catalog only lists a selection of available motors and coils, so the ideal solution can't be found by browsing through available standard options. Some motor manufacturers offer customizations, which require time and money to be invested and might not always be an option depending on the size of the project.
