In direct drive motors, the encoder’s signal quality plays a critical role in the amount of electrical current noise, which affects the motor’s dynamic performance and possible power dissipation.

Position encoders are sensors that, when used in industrial settings, produce critical motor information such as speed and position. The encoder delivers data for display or data that may serve as ...

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 ...

PI introduces a new high dynamics linear motor stage family, the V-574 - a new series of linear positioning stages with excellent guiding precision and frictionless 3-phase linear motors.

Oriental Motor of Japan is offering stepper motors with battery-free multi-turn absolute position encoding that can ride through power-loss. The encoder, ...

This Design Idea combines a simple ISA-bus-resident interface circuit; a garden-variety PC; a high-resolution optical shaft encoder; and a PWM-controlled, 0.05-hp, brushed, permanent-magnet dc motor ...

For integrated motor feedback, the measurement components of an encoder are attached to a motor’s housing, with rotary motions measured directly from the drive shaft.

Precisely tracking speed, acceleration, and position of a motor's rotor is an essential requirement for many motor control applications found in everyday equipment such as fax machines, elevators, and ...

We always think it is interesting that a regular DC motor and a generator are about the same thing. Sure, each is optimized for its purpose, but inefficiencies aside, you can use electricity to rot… ...
