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… ...

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

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 ...

As the shift to automation continues to gain momentum in the industrial sector, servo motors and stepper motors with electric actuators become ever more important. When selecting a motor for an ...

Board turns a stepper into a servo Trinamic Motion Control claims to be making the “smallest single-axis servo controller-driver module with integrated motion control”. TMCM-1321, as it is known, ...
