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 ...

Most of the hacks we see around these parts have to do with taking existing components and cobbling them together in interesting new ways. It’s less often that we see existing components gutted and ...

This is an incremental rotary encoder that uses contactless magnetic sensing to detect rotational speed and direction. The two Hall Effect sensors measure the 66-pole ring magnet and output two ...

Encoders are a vital component in many applications that require motion control and feedback information. Whether a system’s requirement is speed, direction, or distance, an encoder produces control ...

SICK has launched the DUS60 incremental encoder and DUV60 measuring wheel encoder with DIP switch programmability to provide users with a versatile and economical user-configurable motion control ...

Rotary encoders convert rotary movement or angular position into analogue or digital signals for use in measurement or control systems. They can be classified in a number of ways, primarily by the ...

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 ...

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 even come close to matching the speed regulation of these motors. Yet, ...

A typical linear encoder consists of a scanning unit and a scale. The scale is generally glass and is cemented to a support, usually an aluminum extrusion. The scanning unit contains a light source, ...
