San Jose, Calif. — Avago Technologies has released its first series of small6-channel optical incremental C-shaped encoder modules for brushless DC (BLDC) motors used in industrial automation ...

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 ...

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 ...

Electrical equipment often has at least one motor used to rotate or displace an object from its initial position. There are a variety of motor types available in the market, including induction motors ...

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 ...

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 ...

The leading and longest established online Process Engineering publication serving the Process Manufacturing Industries ...

Brushless DC motors, and their associated drive electronics, tend to be expensive and complicated. [Ottoragam] was looking for a cheaper alternative and built this Brushed DC motor servo controller ...

In robotics, movements must be precise and well-controlled. As robots are asked to do more as industry becomes more familiar with the technology, there will be an increasing need for high accuracy ...
