Position encoders are sensors that, when used in industrial settings, produce critical motor information such as speed and position. The encoder delivers data for display or data that may serve as ...

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 rot… ...

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

It uses another motor as the encoder, taking advantage of the minute changes in inductance as the magnet passes each of its coils.

In direct drive motors, the encoder’s signal quality plays a critical role in the amount of electrical current noise, which affects the motor’s dynamic performance and possible power dissipation.

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 ...

Introducing the ENX 16 RIO encoder: maxon motor presents a top-of-the-range high-resolution encoder. The ENX 16 RIO offers an impressive resolution of up to 65,536 counts per turn in a compact and ...

The ME Series uses inductive sensor technology in a high-speed, high-precision rotary position encoder. Targeted for motor-winding commutation and motion control, the 22-mm-diameter unit provides ...

PI introduces a new high dynamics linear motor stage family, the V-574 - a new series of linear positioning stages with excellent guiding precision and frictionless 3-phase linear motors.
