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… ...

How optical rotary encoders can provide real-time motion feedback on motion applications using stepper motor-driven linear actuators.

Board turns a stepper into a servo Trinamic Motion Control claims to be making the “smallest single-axis servo controller-driver module with integrated motion control”. TMCM-1321, as it is known, ...
