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 ...

For any designs that deal with large motors, isolation is a desired characteristic for both control and sense loops. Turn on, turn off, changes in load, changes in power, and unexpected events can ...

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.

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 ...

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 ...

SCHAUMBURG, IL--(Marketwired - December 01, 2015) - HEIDENHAIN Corporation is pleased to announce the first and only angle encoders on the market to have a Fault Exclusion for Loosening of the ...

Developed specifically for mechanical drive and lift-engineering applications, the RHI90N series incremental rotary encoders provide high accuracy with pulse counts up to 2,500 ppr at 10- to 30-Vdc ...

EPC has designed a GaN-based motor driver for robot limb joints. EPC91120, as it is know, is a evaluation board implementing a three-phase brushless dc motor driver in a 32mm diameter circular ...
