An interesting trend in industrial motion control has been the replacement of self-contained encoders (rotation sensors with their own housing, bearings and shaft) with modular or “kit” encoders.
Constant-speed ac-induction motors don't really hold a constant speed. It's just that their speed varies least from no load to full load of all ac-induction motors. Other induction-motor types don't ...
The advanced stage design provides for excellent straightness and flatness values as low as 1µm. Crossed roller bearings ...
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 ...
The new SilverPak 23DE, an integrated Nema 23, high torque, 1.8 degree bipolar step motor, microstepping driver and encoder is designed to reduce overall design time and system cost for a wide array ...
Introducing the ENX 16 RIO encoder: maxon motor presents a top-of-the-range high-resolution encoder. The ENX 16 RIO offers an impressive resolution of up to 65,536 counts per turn in a compact and ...
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 rotate ...
