The 1FK7 servo motor from Siemens is developed with field-replaceable encoders that make for quick and easy on-site service with no special tools or recalibration required. Automation World covers the ...

How do you make things move? You add in a motor that converts electrical energy into motion. That’s a simple idea, but how do you know where the motor is? That’s where the servo motor comes in. By ...

Targeting brush motors running at less than 100W with quadrature encoders, the 3C20 digital-motion controller claims a 32-bit or greater precision in position, velocity and acceleration, and jerk ...

As the shift to automation continues to gain momentum in the industrial sector, servo motors and stepper motors with electric actuators become ever more important. When selecting a motor for an ...

The new SH150 is Industrial Encoder Corp.’s largest sine-cosine hollow shaft encoder, featuring a 150 mm housing and a 60–100 ...

Kollmorgen has released a new servo drive and motor, designed to simplify motion system development and speed up time to market.<br /><br /> ...

It is an engineering truism that there is no such thing as a perfect solution—just the best solution for the problem at hand. That holds particularly true for servo motors and stepper motors. Both are ...

The International Electrotechnical Commission (IEC) defines a servo device as “an adjustable-speed AC power drive system that includes an AC motor integrated by feedback, a converter, and control, ...

AutomationDirect has added LS Electric servos systems that provide extremely accurate motion control and include the most requested features - setup wizards, auto-tuning, built-in indexer, and more – ...

[Frank Herrmann] had an interesting idea to turn a geared DC motor into a servo motor assembly, but with a stepper motor-like interface. By stacking some small PCBs behind the motor body, it was ...

A motor-drive servo amplifier's output voltage has a fundamental frequency and amplitude that corresponds to the motor speed, torque, and number of motor poles. PWM amplifiers, by their nature, also ...
