Direct drives place rigorous demands on position-signal quality. Optimum measuring signals increase the quality of the machined workpiece surface, reduce vibration in the machine frame, stop excessive ...

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 ...

Gearless drives, also known as direct drives, are used in the elevator technology for their high torque at low rotation frequencies and their smooth and silent operation. Gearless drives, also known ...

New stepper motors, encoders and inertia dampers have been added to the SureStep® system of step motor control. New stepper motors, encoders and inertia dampers have been added to the SureStep® system ...

New highlights for complete solutions in drive technology: With the new size of the SXR motors, the powerful motor of the new GXR family, the high-precision encoder and the matching gearhead, ...

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 ...

Sponsored by Texas Instruments: Commercial off-the-shelf MCUs are incorporating control-law accelerators, trigonometric math units, and other features that let them excel at speed, position, and ...

The precise meaning of the term ‘servo’ in the context of motors and drives is difficult to pin down. Broadly speaking, if a drive incorporates ‘servo’ in its description, the implication is that it ...

How the challenges of electric-motor control design can be overcome using digital twins in all design and test phases. How automated testing within a continuous and integrated toolchain is able to ...
