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 ...

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

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 ...

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.

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 ...

Encoder tracking is a technique that monitors a reference motor with an encoder and controls a secondary motor. Encoder tracking is a technique that monitors a reference motor with an encoder and ...

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

Stepper motors produce accurate, computer-controlled motion for applications such as robotic arms and paper-feed mechanisms for printers. They require current pulses delivered through a special ...
