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

How optical rotary encoders can provide real-time motion feedback on motion applications using stepper motor-driven linear actuators.

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

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

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.

Festo’s new stepper motor series — EMMT-ST — features absolute encoders, IP65 protection, holding brakes and control via a single cable. OEMs have the choice of an absolute single-turn encoder or ...

A rotary encoder is an electro-mechanical device for converting the angular position of a shaft or axle to a digital code. For many applications and equipment that need to track object location, ...
