  • Publication number: 20120229059
    Abstract: A drive with heat dissipation and energy-saving function for supplying power to drive a motor. The drive includes a driving circuit having a rectification section. The rectification section serves to receive AC current generated when the motor abruptly accelerates/decelerates and convert the AC current into DC current and output the DC current. The drive further includes a cooling module electrically connected to an output end of the rectification section. The cooling module is drivable by the DC current output from the rectification section to conduct out and dissipate heat.

  • Publication number: 20090021193
    Abstract: A DC motor with a rotation direction switching circuit comprises a second power semiconductor assembly and a first power semiconductor assembly which are switched on and off alternatively by changing the polarity of the DC power source, thus providing an electronic rotation direction switching method. The service life is prolonged and the replacement times relatively reduce, and as a result, the material cost and maintenance cost of the rotation direction switching circuit is reduced. Therefore, it can improve the willingness of the user to use the DC motor with the rotation direction switching circuit and relatively improve the economic value of the DC motor.

  • Publication number: 20080218368
    Abstract: A position sensing feedback wireless transmission system comprises: a movable carrier, a sensing head, a scale and a display or a controller. When the present position of the movable carrier is required to know, the sensing head can be utilized to transmit the measured information data back to the display or the controller in wireless manner. Since the position sensing feedback wireless transmission system of the present invention adopts the wireless technology, in addition to save the connecting wires cost, it can be relatively simply used in the machine. Consequently, for the design of the mechanism required to measure the long distance, the unit with a plurality of running wires can be dispensed with.
