Absolute Accuracy The difference between the actual position and the reported position through one rotation (like INL) Position control applications depend on absolute accuracy Differential Accuracy ...

Encoders are integral parts of motor-control systems that sense mechanical motion, then generate digital signals in response to that motion. The trend today is to create smaller mechanical and ...

Myriad applications require custom torque motors — including hard-machining table drives, mirror millers, and measuring and grinding machines. In fact, machine builders for these applications are now ...

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 ...

San Jose, Calif. — Avago Technologies has released its first series of small6-channel optical incremental C-shaped encoder modules for brushless DC (BLDC) motors used in industrial automation ...

Lika Electronic's AMM33 miniature encoder is equipped with a 6 mm blind hollow shaft and is ideally suited for integration into very small size motors. The SMAR1 off-axis encoder fits perfectly into ...

Portescap, a developer of miniature motion solutions, recently introduced the 08ECP20 brushless DC slotless motor. Portescap said this mini actuation solution is designed for engineers looking to ...
