Most incremental encoders fitted to asynchronous AC motors are general-purpose devices and may not be ideal for this application, says the German encoder specialist Sick l Stegmann. The company has ...

Nidec Instruments has announced a new range of high-accuracy AC servomotors with battery-free magnetic absolute encoders, as well as other enhancements including higher peak and cogging torques, top ...

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, ...

AutomationDirect quality AC variable speed motors fit the bill for a variety of induction motor applications requiring a blower motor, "squirrel cage" motor, fractional motor, pump motor or other ...

The topic of motors and motor control techniques is wide and varied. Part one of this two-part article will cover the principles of alternating-current (AC) motor operation and control. Part two will ...

DC Motors were king in industry up until the late 1980s; These motors were popular because they were able to run to a variable speed setpoint, and they could run at full torque from stall to base ...

The International Electrotechnical Commission (IEC) defines a servo device as “an adjustable-speed AC power drive system that includes an AC motor integrated by feedback, a converter, and control, ...
