Myriad applications require custom torque motors — including hard-machining table drives, mirror millers, and measuring and grinding machines. In fact, machine builders for these applications are now ...

HEIDENHAIN's new PressFit rotary encoders are uniquely designed for feedback and to ease mounting within small motors particularly during automated assembly. Developed in collaboration with global ...

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 ...

Why are there so many different angle encoders on the market? Why do they use different scanning and measuring methods? And which one should a designer choose? To answer those questions, engineers at ...

New stepper motors, encoders and inertia dampers have been added to the SureStep® system of step motor control. New stepper motors, encoders and inertia dampers have been added to the SureStep® system ...

If you have a brushless motor, you have some magnets, a bunch of coils arranged in a circle, and theoretically, all the parts you need to build a rotary encoder. A lot of people have used brushless or ...

Same Sky has created an absolute encoder family for motor shafts from 9 to 15.875mm (5/8inch). Called AMT25 and said to be accurate to ±0.2°, the family relies on the same in-house capacitive ASIC for ...

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 ...

New highlights for complete solutions in drive technology: With the new size of the SXR motors, the powerful motor of the new GXR family, the high-precision encoder and the matching gearhead, ...

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 ...
