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 ...

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 ...

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.

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 ...

Offering 5-V TTL-compatible dual-channel quadrature output with index options, the 920 Series compact optical incremental encoders feature an integral 5-pin connector that mates with both Amphenol and ...

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 ...

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 ...

This article discusses a magnetic encoder intended for electrical motor driving employing ATS605LSG. It includes the advantages of magnetic encoder, guidelines for motor driving, general applications ...

Today’s servo systems depend on accurate, consistent feedback to maintain position, control speed, and execute complex motion ...

MICROMO launches the new generation of metal brush commutated motors, the FAULHABER 1024 SR series with a diameter of 10 mm. In combination with a gearhead, its output torque can achieve 300 mNm, ...
