In direct drive motors, the encoder’s signal quality plays a critical role in the amount of electrical current noise, which affects the motor’s dynamic performance and possible power dissipation.

Titanio series stepper drives from Ever Motion Solutions include three new drives available with two open-loop (no encoder ...

When you think about highly-precise actuators, stepper motors probably aren’t the first device that comes to mind. However, ...

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 rot… ...

For integrated motor feedback, the measurement components of an encoder are attached to a motor’s housing, with rotary motions measured directly from the drive shaft.

Position encoders are sensors that, when used in industrial settings, produce critical motor information such as speed and position. The encoder delivers data for display or data that may serve as ...

This Design Idea combines a simple ISA-bus-resident interface circuit; a garden-variety PC; a high-resolution optical shaft encoder; and a PWM-controlled, 0.05-hp, brushed, permanent-magnet dc motor ...

The new SC Series from Nanotec Electronic is an out-of-the-box combination of a stepper motor with an optical encoder.

PI introduces a new high dynamics linear motor stage family, the V-574 - a new series of linear positioning stages with excellent guiding precision and frictionless 3-phase linear motors.

Oriental Motor of Japan is offering stepper motors with battery-free multi-turn absolute position encoding that can ride through power-loss. The encoder, ...
