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… ...

The ability of two-in-one encoders to provide motor feedback and position measurement in one device are critical to the space and safety needs of collaborative robots.

It uses another motor as the encoder, taking advantage of the minute changes in inductance as the magnet passes each of its coils.

Encoder feedback for the motor drive enables the system to offer smooth velocity trajectories to the user while providing the ultimate in motor efficiency.

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

Multiple quadrature encoder support: Mixed-signal FPGAs also offer another benefit for motor control – the capability of driving multiple motors (axles) simultaneously with single mixed-signal device.

SICK STEGMANN has introduced its new Encoder Solutions Family Overview, featuring information, specifications, and selection guidelines on its family of feedback solutions. Offering technical ...

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 TSM14POE StepSERVO from Applied Motion includes a motor, encoder, drive, and controller combined in a single integrated motor package.

At NAB, Link Research announced low bit-rate upgrades to its L1000 decoder, extending the standard minimum bit rate of 2.5 Mb/s down to 500 kb/s. Until now the L1000 was only suited to high bit-rate ...
