The Incodermotors, a line of permanent magnet dc and brushless dc motors and gearmotors, feature integral encoders, which reduce the number of external components as well as the associated costs. They ...

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 ...

A flat DC motor has ultra-flat dimensions, zero cogging torque, and a coreless motor design. It has an extremely low current consumption, low starting voltage, and a low rotor inertia for extremely ...

Alignment of optical encoder commutation signals to a Brushless DC (BLDC) motor could be thought of as being comparable to timing the distributor on a car engine. The distributor tells the spark plugs ...

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 ...

The LBT will be part of the Mt. Graham International Observatory near Safford, Ariz. The two 8.4-m mirrors are mounted 14.4-m apart. Swing arms rotate the secondary and tertiary mirrors, and their ...

In robotics, movements must be precise and well-controlled. As robots are asked to do more as industry becomes more familiar with the technology, there will be an increasing need for high accuracy ...
