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 ...

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 TSM14POE StepSERVO from Applied Motion includes a motor, encoder, drive, and controller combined in a single integrated motor package. The TSM14POE StepSERVO from Applied Motion includes a motor, ...

Encoder tracking is a technique that monitors a reference motor with an encoder and controls a secondary motor. Encoder tracking is a technique that monitors a reference motor with an encoder and ...

Is it something in the water, or have there been a lot of really cool servo projects lately? Mechaduino is a board that sits on a regular stepper motor and turns it into a servo with a closed loop ...

Two new direct-drive linear motors in Moticont's SDLM line feature a linear optical quadrature encoder to enhance accuracy. The engineers at Moticont, Van Nuys, Calif., designed two new high-speed, ...

The P760 series disc magnet motor from Portescap combines “Disc Magnet” technology and an optimized number of pole pairs to deliver 0.7-Nm torque and acceleration up to 5000 rpm. Disc Magnet ...
