• A look at improvements in controllers (adjustable speed drives) and components such as magnetic bearings, rotor materials, and semiconductors
• Technologies including:
• Torque Control Technologies (direct vs. indirect)
• Synchronous reluctance motors
• Variable reluctance motors
• Switched reluctance motors
• Variable reluctance stepping motors
• New ECM Concepts
• Profiles of major players in the industry

Report Scope

This report covers both entirely new motor technologies and significant component or drive enhancements. For example, improvements in controllers (adjustable speed drives) and components such as magnetic bearings, rotor materials and semiconductors are covered.

Currently, much of the electric motor manufacturing industry is engaged in the production of commodity output using well-established technologies. Established technologies comprise most of the approximately $10 billion U.S. motor market. The global market for motors is about $80 billion per year, with much of this amount commodity output. While the magnitude of commodity output and the description of established technologies has been covered in previous market reports, advanced motor technologies and new components that are likely to see greater market penetration in the coming decade have not been thoroughly examined. This report covers what new and novel developments related to finished electric motors and their key components.
