Today, we shall talk about how [Adam Bäckström] took a DS3225 servo and rebuilt it to improve its accuracy, then built a high-precision robot arm with those modified servos to show just how much of an ...

From single-cable systems to energy-harvesting encoders, new feedback device features improve accuracy, reduce downtime and ...

With the introduction of its EES37 single turn encoder and EEM37 multiturn encoders, SICK has completed its product portfolio for HIPERFACE DSL® standard servo motor feedback systems, while achieving ...

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 ...

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 ...

In an increasingly virtual world, the ability to simulate touch provides powerful advantages, such as potentially allowing an online shopper to, “feel” a shirt fabric. Enter the discipline of haptics, ...

While current control and PWM switching play the most direct role in driving brushless DC motors, the motion profile and ...

Position encoders are sensors that, when used in industrial settings, produce critical motor information such as speed and position. The encoder delivers data for display or data that may serve as ...

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 ...

Why are there so many different angle encoders on the market? Why do they use different scanning and measuring methods? And which one should a designer choose? To answer those questions, engineers at ...
