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 ...

Inductive sensors achieve fast response times. Changes in position or speed cause immediate alterations in the induced eddy currents, which directly affect the inductance of the sensor coil. This ...

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 rotate ...

An interesting trend in industrial motion control has been the replacement of self-contained encoders (rotation sensors with their own housing, bearings and shaft) with modular or “kit” encoders.

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 ...

The new SilverPak 23DE, an integrated Nema 23, High Torque, 1.8° bipolar step motor, microstepping driver and encoder is designed to reduce overall design time and system cost for a wide array of step ...

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 ...

(Nanowerk News) Global precision motion control and nanopositioning industry leader PI introduces a new high dynamics linear motor stage family, the V-574 - a new series of linear positioning stages ...

Scottsdale, AZ, January 20, 2009 – Roboteq, Inc (www.roboteq.com) introduces an intelligent dual channel DC motor controller capable of directly driving up to 120Amps on each channel at up to 60V. The ...
