While current control and PWM switching play the most direct role in driving brushless DC motors, the motion profile and ...

Hydraulic actuators are characterized by their ability to impart large forces at high speeds and are used in many industrial motion systems. In applications where good dynamic performance is important ...

Building a 3D motor printed motor is one thing, but creating a completely custom servo motor with encoder requires some significant engineering. In the video after the break [365 Robots] takes us ...

Because models in the new series of Flex-Mount commutating-motor feedback encoders use the same physical mounting as resolvers, they provide better accuracy of up to 2048 pulses/revolution and ...

Faster, smaller, and smarter is the mantra of today's servo-controlled machines. As a result, end users have come to expect more and better performance, forcing designers to continuously improve ...

There are two types of motion control engineers: Those who are comfortable tuning a servo loop, and those who aren't. The latter basically, have two options. The first is to use a non-servo device ...

Combining a high-torque step motor with an on-board drive, encoder, controller and closed-loop servo software into a single package, the integrated motors save on space, wiring, and cost over ...

Targeting high-performance applications in the medical, scientific, and automation industries, Performance Motion Devices recently announced the Magellan-PCI motion controller featuring a servo-loop ...

Combined with its high accuracy and resolution, this makes the device ideal for servo loop motion control systems requiring small displacement monitoring, such as infrastructure integrity monitoring ( ...
