Encoders are integral parts of motor-control systems that sense mechanical motion, then generate digital signals in response to that motion. The trend today is to create smaller mechanical and ...

It's just that their speed varies least from no load to full load of all ac-induction motors. Other induction-motor types don't even come close to matching the speed regulation of these motors. Yet, ...

If you have a brushless motor, you have some magnets, a bunch of coils arranged in a circle, and theoretically, all the parts you need to build a rotary encoder. A lot of people have used brushless or ...

DC Motors were king in industry up until the late 1980s; These motors were popular because they were able to run to a variable speed setpoint, and they could run at full torque from stall to base ...

Alignment of optical encoder commutation signals to a Brushless DC (BLDC) motor could be thought of as being comparable to timing the distributor on a car engine. The distributor tells the spark plugs ...

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 ...

Any electrical motor, from an idealized viewpoint, consists of two sets of magnets—one set stationary, one set free to move—placed in special geometric relation to one another. For most practical ...

The Incodermotors, a line of permanent magnet dc and brushless dc motors and gearmotors, feature integral encoders, which reduce the number of external components as well as the associated costs. They ...

New highlights for complete solutions in drive technology: With the new size of the SXR motors, the powerful motor of the new GXR family, the high-precision encoder and the matching gearhead, ...

The AC induction motor is often referred to as the workhorse of the industry because it offers users simple, rugged construction, easy maintenance, and cost-effective pricing. These factors have ...
