Energy efficiency is one of the most misunderstood aspects of fractional horsepower motors and gearmotors. It normally does not receive much attention; however, efficiency can be critically important ...

As the cost of electricity goes up, energy efficiency becomes more and more relevant as a design parameter. This is even the case in motion/position control applications, where servomotors are widely ...

According to the International Energy Agency (IEA)’s World Energy Outlook 2025, global energy demand grew by more than 2% in 2024 to over 650 exajoules (EJ): well above the long‑term average of 1.4% ...

Many engineers look at NEMA Premium grade as the gold standard for induction motor efficiency. But technical innovations now make possible even more power-miserly designs. By now, most engineers who ...

Energy efficiency always carries a price, and the federal government’s latest initiative to wring more savings from efficient electric motors offers proof. The U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) has ...
