It isn’t hard to imagine a scenario where you are stuck at home all day with nothing to do and certain items are in short supply. Sure, bathroom tissue gets all the press, but try buying some flour or ...

Several factors, from sensors to safety and robotic arms or mobile platforms, help determine the selection of a brushless DC ...

The electric motor is the fundamental building block of almost all robotic projects but, without some form of feedback, it lacks the precise positional control required for the task. Small servos from ...

Absolute Encoder Stepper Motor Drives are advanced motion control devices that integrate an absolute encoder with a stepper motor. These drives are designed to provide precise control over the motor's ...

When using a stepper motor, integrating an incremental encoder is relatively straightforward. Still, there are some general guidelines to consider. Incremental encoders (like any encoder) all function ...

Why are there so many different angle encoders on the market? Why do they use different scanning and measuring methods? And which one should a designer choose? To answer those questions, engineers at ...

Alignment of optical encoder commutation signals to a Brushless DC (BLDC) motor could be thought of as being comparable to timing the distributor on a car engine. The distributor tells the spark plugs ...

CUI’s Motion Group announced a new line of stepper motors paired with their AMT11 incremental encoder series. The NEMA‑AMT112S stepper servo motor family is available in compact NEMA 8, 11, 14, 17, ...

Every encoder-based motion-control axis, such as a servo motor or step motor, must know where it is to be accurate. If it doesn’t, it will never reach its target position. But the encoder must first ...

Encoder specialist POSITAL has expanded its line of kit-style encoders for feedback for servo and stepper motors with new models that utilize the same mounting form factor as incremental kit encoders ...

A new magnetic digital encoder featuring 14-bit resolution, differential outputs, and a speed range of up to 200-k e-RPM offers accurate and cost-effective position sensing for various robotic and ...
