Alignment of optical encoder commutation signals to a Brushless DC (BLDC) motor could be thought of as being comparable to timing the distributor on a car engine. The distributor tells the spark plugs ...

These brushed DC motors feature high power density and low vibration. hese brushed DC motors feature high power density and low vibration. Besides the technical highlights, the program's appeal lies ...

Here we investigate how certain high-end grinding applications have spurred the pairing of direct-drive torque motors with modular encoders. Myriad applications require custom torque motors — ...

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 ...

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, ...

The 211 series 1.8º, NEMA-11 bi-polar stepper motor with an integrated E4 encoder from US Digital measures 1.1" square and is available in three lengths: 1.24", 1.75", and 1.99". Depending on the ...

Melexis has extended its absolute magnetic and inductive encoder portfolio with an automotive-grade variant of the MLX90382. It combines up to 16-bit resolution, SFI, and zero-latency to deliver ...

The new SH150 is Industrial Encoder Corp.’s largest sine-cosine hollow shaft encoder, featuring a 150 mm housing and a 60–100 ...

A quadrature encoder uses two output channels offset in phase to detect both direction and position with greater precision.

With the introduction of its EES37 single turn encoder and EEM37 multiturn encoders, SICK has completed its product portfolio for HIPERFACE DSL® standard servo motor feedback systems, while achieving ...
