DC Motor Sizing Made Easy

This half-day seminar provides the practical information you need to successfully select the right DC motor — be it brushed or brushless — for your application. You’ll learn about the interpretation of motor data and how you can use this information for motor sizing. Whether you need high speed and dynamics or just high torque, this seminar will teach you to size a drive with just the right power reserves avoiding costly oversized motors.

What You’ll Receive:
- Textbook: The selection of high-precision microdrives (US$65 value), "a complete, easy-to-read reference guide for motor and drive selection" or you'll receive an Cdn$89 voucher to be used towards your next Maxon order (voucher expires Dec. 31, 2010)
- MSP Motor Sizing Software and first step exercises
- E-Learning software tutorial on USB Stick
- maxon catalog (both English & French versions) on CD-ROM
