The encoder is attached to the motor shaft and delivers signals that will indicate speed or position. Rotary encoders come in two basic flavors: incremental and absolute.

Brushless DC (BLDC) motors are standard fare in low-precision, speedy RC applications. The control schemes needed to run them slowly or precisely go deep into motor theory and might put these motor… ...

Oriental Motor of Japan is offering stepper motors with battery-free multi-turn absolute position encoding that can ride through power-loss. The encoder, dubbed ‘mechanical absolute encoder’, combines ...

– Make your stepper motor applications extremely compact ! – Make sure that you never miss a step again, thanks to the on-board encoder and control algorithm !

Before the digital age, when transistors were expensive, unreliable, and/or nonexistent, engineers had to use other tricks to do things that we take for granted nowadays. Motor positioning, for ...

A rotary encoder is an electro-mechanical device for converting the angular position of a shaft or axle to a digital code. For many applications and equipment that need to track object location, ...

It’s an absolute encoder (versus an incremental encoder), meaning it can provide position data even when the rotor isn’t moving. The standard module has an embedded microcontroller (MCU)—Arm ...

Global precision motion control and nanopositioning industry leader PI introduces a new high dynamics linear motor stage family, the V-574 - a new series of linear positioning stages with ...

Requirements on encoders are becoming more and more demanding. This applies particularly to positioning applications with precision constant-speed control, where increasingly compact housings need to ...
