The new magnetic encoders from Posital provide absolute position feedback They are available with multi-turn measurement ranges which can be useful when a motor is connected to a screw shaft, cable ...

The right feedback sensor is a key in motion systems that do what they are supposed to. Incremental disks are simple, having only one track shared by two sensors. The sensors are mounted so their ...

To attain accurate positioning, a servo system requires a feedback signal to close its feedback loop. Instruments that typically supply the feedback signal include optical encoders, resolvers, and ...

Stepper motor linear actuators (SMLAs) combine a stepper motor, precision lead screw and nut in one compact envelope, providing a highly configurable, customizable and robust system for linear motion.

That level of resolution is ideal for commutation, high-speed motor control, position/velocity control, and replacement of potentiometers and optical encoders. It’s a low-power 3.3-V (or 5-V) device, ...

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 ...

For engineers seeking a motor scaled down in size but not power, QuickSilver Controls has extended its Mosolver (portmanteau of “motor” and “resolver”) servo motion actuator into a NEMA 17 frame ...

Encoders are integral parts of motor-control systems that sense mechanical motion, then generate digital signals in response to that motion. The trend today is to create smaller mechanical and ...

UNTERPREMSTAETTEN, Austria--(BUSINESS WIRE)--The new AS5601 contactless rotary position sensor from ams AG (SIX: AMS), a leading provider of high performance analog ICs and sensors, gives designers an ...

Last year, Automation World examined the differences between accuracy, resolution, and precision in the encoder world. And while understanding the differences among these terms is important to ...
