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 solution adds a position feedback sensor into the structure of a high pole count AC motor, eliminating the need for an encoder and resolvers. In a tight environment, the use of an encoder is often ...

Kollmorgen’s AKM and AKM2G servo motors with the new SFD-M encoder, along with its AKD and AKD2G servo drives, are ...

The trick is to use two of the three unidirectional counters in the 82C54—one for each encoder-rotation direction. Reference 1 describes the logic involved in detail. This Design Idea expands upon the ...

A standard reflective encoder module contains two digital output channels for direction sensing, but needs another module for indexing. Similarly, motion ...

Introducing the ENX 16 RIO encoder: maxon motor presents a top-of-the-range high-resolution encoder. The ENX 16 RIO offers an impressive resolution of up to 65,536 counts per turn in a compact and ...

The encoder has a high resolution of 4000 CPR, with quadrature, it can reach 16,000 pulses per revolution. A 5-V and 24-V encoder is available, each with a line driver.

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… ...

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 ME Series uses inductive sensor technology in a high-speed, high-precision rotary position encoder. Targeted for motor-winding commutation and motion control, the 22-mm-diameter unit provides ...
