Two new direct-drive linear motors in Moticont's SDLM line feature a linear optical quadrature encoder to enhance accuracy. The engineers at Moticont, Van Nuys, Calif., designed two new high-speed, ...

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 ...

A new magnetic digital encoder featuring 14-bit resolution, differential outputs, and a speed range of up to 200-k e-RPM offers accurate and cost-effective position sensing for various robotic and ...

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, ...

A new series of commutating motor feedback encoders is said to make it easier and cheaper for designers to improve machine performance and productivity in stepper and servo motor applications.

• Shaft twisting, mechanical flex, belt elasticity, and gear backlash are often culprits in speed-controlled systems that are unstable. • Sometimes a feedback device with a higher resolution can solve ...

SICK has released safety-certified versions of its TTK70 and TTK50 magnetic absolute linear encoders with Hiperface° interface, widening the opportunities for accurate, absolute motor feedback systems ...
