The Incodermotors, a line of permanent magnet dc and brushless dc motors and gearmotors, feature integral encoders, which reduce the number of external components as well as the associated costs. They ...

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 ...

Measuring 16 mm in diameter and 62.4 mm in length, the HG16 series dc gearmotors integrate the gear train and an optional encoder. The series includes 12 models with operating voltages of 6V, 12V, and ...

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 ...

Why are there so many different angle encoders on the market? Why do they use different scanning and measuring methods? And which one should a designer choose? To answer those questions, engineers at ...

The LBT will be part of the Mt. Graham International Observatory near Safford, Ariz. The two 8.4-m mirrors are mounted 14.4-m apart. Swing arms rotate the secondary and tertiary mirrors, and their ...

In robotics, movements must be precise and well-controlled. As robots are asked to do more as industry becomes more familiar with the technology, there will be an increasing need for high accuracy ...
