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 ...

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 ...

These AMT series encoders from AutomationDirect can be set for most models using the free AMT Viewpoint software and they also offer line driver and push-pull output signals configurable up to 4096 ...

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

Encoders are widely used in the motion control and automation industry to monitor the position and speed of motors. This information can be used by the motion control electronics to detect if the ...

From high-precision surgical platforms to automated drug delivery systems, robotic technologies are driving new standards in ...

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 ...

The Rock-Tenn paperboard mill in Aurora, Ill., automated the positioning and tensioning of belts on its conveyor system with low-cost motors and drives paired with absolute encoders. When the ...

Böblingen, Germany – Avago Technologies, the world's largest privately held semiconductor company, today announced its first series of small 6-channel optical incremental C-shaped encoder modules for ...

The KL2531 and KL2541 stepper motor terminals are designed as a compact and cost-effective I/O alternative to traditional stepper controls. These bus terminals integrate a compact motion control ...
