How do you make things move? You add in a motor that converts electrical energy into motion. That’s a simple idea, but how do you know where the motor is? That’s where the servo motor comes in. By ...

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 ...

The Icon PID Position Controller is designed to work seamlessly with the Icon H-Bridge module. When used with a brushed dc motor and quadrature encoder, the two devices form a highly versatile ...

[Frank Herrmann] had an interesting idea to turn a geared DC motor into a servo motor assembly, but with a stepper motor-like interface. By stacking some small PCBs behind the motor body, it was ...

Design engineers turn to linear motors for applications that demand speed, accuracy and reliability. From high-throughput ...

TE Connectivity is aiming at servo motor manufacturers with a range of connectors for different types of electric motors. “Trends in motor connectivity focus on miniaturisation, reduction of ...

San Jose, Calif. — Avago Technologies has released its first series of small6-channel optical incremental C-shaped encoder modules for brushless DC (BLDC) motors used in industrial automation ...

The Rock-Tenn paperboard mill in Aurora, Ill., automated the positioning and tensioning of belts on its conveyor system with low-cost motors and drives paired with absolute encoders. When the ...
