Distributing power between all four wheels makes it easier to keep driving through tough conditions, or simply have more confidence for whatever might come up the road. However, some all-wheel drive ...

I do a lot of new car testing at the racetrack, and the more at-the-limit testing I do, the more I’ve come to realize that “Off” rarely means 100 percent off when it comes to electronic stability ...

Torque vectoring is an electronically controlled system that improves vehicle traction, cornering capabilities, and overall stability by allotting specific power delivery to individual wheels. It is ...

Electric clutches may not be always the engineer’s first choice when looking at torque-control solutions. Electric motor drive systems, pneumatic clutches, or even friction spring types are thought of ...

Motors account for at least half of the energy consumed in the U.S. Selecting the right control method for an application lets the motor run most efficiently while maximizing torque and overall ...

In a speed controller, the motor’s speed (or velocity) is being controlled. There is an element that detects speed, whether it be a tachometer or some sort of encoder. This monitoring element provides ...
