Jan. 9, 2024 - Thomson Industries, Inc., a leading manufacturer of linear motion control solutions, has announced the availability of a rotating-nut stepper motor linear actuator (SMLA) with a rotary ...

The other day we had a big problem. The Saddle feeder's speed control was done by a hydraulic device which consists of a wheel having a complete 360 degree rotation representing from zero speed to ...

In Oriental Motor’s continuing drive to improve customers’ productivity and reduce costs, it has developed a mechanical encoder for use with the AlphaStep AZ Series of stepper motors. Oriental Motor’s ...

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 ...

An interesting trend in industrial motion control has been the replacement of self-contained encoders (rotation sensors with their own housing, bearings and shaft) with modular or “kit” encoders.

When you need to make very tiny measurements, even noise in closed relays can throw you off. [Marco] was able to observe this effect and wanted to build a switch that didn’t have this problem. He ...
