abstract: electric motors are achieving use in an increasing range of applications and are replacing hydraulics in cars and airplanes because electric motors are far more reliable and efficient in servo applications (and they don’t leak). we have found that designed for a purpose motors can be more attractive than general purpose motors in many applications. in this discussion, we will describe why this is so and will describe a design scheme that is related to optimization. we will also describe some attributes to motor application and the choice of motor type, including the choice of induction vs. permanent magnet motors for traction applications.
