Is your motor spinning at the intended rate? Closed-loop motor control systems continue to answer this question, as there tends to be a closed-loop system implemented wherever a motor spins. Whether ...

Encoders are the most widely used feedback devices for electric motor control, capable of delivering precise position and speed feedback for closed-loop performance. With numerous technology options ...

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 ...

New GPM35, GPM50, and GPM70 Combine Integrated Motors, Controllers, and Gearboxes to Power Next-Generation Unmanned Ground ...

Scottsdale, AZ, January 20, 2009 – Roboteq, Inc (www.roboteq.com) introduces an intelligent dual channel DC motor controller capable of directly driving up to 120Amps on each channel at up to 60V. The ...

[Josh Pieper] of mjbots Robotic Systems just released a major revision to his moteus open sourced brushless DC (BLDC) electric motor controller. The update adds a flexible I/O subsystem which ...

Encoders are fantastically useful devices for human-machine interfacing. The issue for the makers, teachers, students, and engineers trying to use them is that many have less-than-ideal output signals ...

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.

The chip is a system-on-chip (SoC) device, which means all the key sensing and processing functions are built into one small ...

Avago Technologies announced the market's first three-channel reflective encoder. Avago Technologies announced the market's first three-channel reflective encoder. The new AEDR-850x encoders feature ...
