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 ...

[Stefan] sent in this project writeup to show us how he used a stepper motor as a rotary encoder. Using a stepper motor as an encoder isn’t really that new, as [Stefan] points out, we’ve seen it ...

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 ...

Brushless servo motors are all the hype these days. But stepper motors still provide a number of advantages while being more cost efficient and robust. Together with precision linear and rotary ...

Thomson Industries, Inc., a leading manufacturer of linear motion control solutions, has announced a significant upgrade to its stepper motor linear actuator (SMLA) online selector tool, adding the ...

DC Motor with Quadrature Encoder Speed & Position Measurement (Arduino + L298N) This Arduino project controls a DC motor using an L298N motor driver while reading position, speed, and angle from a ...

When it’s time to specify a high-performance motor that offers both precise positioning and cost efficiency, stepper motors offer many advantages over DC motors thanks to their brushless technology.

Abstract: This research studies the implementation of Proportional-Derivative (PD) and Model Predictive Control (MPC) approaches embedded in an industrial Programmable Logic Controller (PLC) to ...
