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 ...

Today, we shall talk about how [Adam Bäckström] took a DS3225 servo and rebuilt it to improve its accuracy, then built a high-precision robot arm with those modified servos to show just how much of an ...

The M-122 palm-top-sized translation stage integrates small dimensions, high speeds and very high accuracy at a competitive price. It features a space-saving, folded drive train with the servo motor ...

Dual Absolute encoder versions of the FHA-C from Electromate feature BiSS-C bi-directional communication for both encoders. The dual encoders are incorporated in essentially the same package size as ...

MultiDimension Technology Co., Ltd. (MDT), a leading supplier of magnetic sensors and a pioneer in Tunneling Magnetoresistance (TMR) technology, today introduced the TMR3111D high-performance TMR ...

Sanyo Denki Co. Ltd. is using the Actel Fusion mixed-signal FPGA in Sanyo’s new RA035 position-detection device (encoder) for servo motors in industrial applications. The 600,000-gate AFS600 device ...

Targeting brush motors running at less than 100W with quadrature encoders, the 3C20 digital-motion controller claims a 32-bit or greater precision in position, velocity and acceleration, and jerk ...

It is an engineering truism that there is no such thing as a perfect solution—just the best solution for the problem at hand. That holds particularly true for servo motors and stepper motors. Both are ...

Optical encoders and transducers enable users to translate information from one code to another. Optical encoders come in different varieties including rotary encoders and linear encoders. The optical ...

The Rock-Tenn paperboard mill in Aurora, Ill., automated the positioning and tensioning of belts on its conveyor system with low-cost motors and drives paired with absolute encoders. When the ...

ifm has expanded its family of safety encoders for mobile machines, giving manufacturers a reliable way to capture position, angle, and speed values wherever vehicles or superstructures move ...
