In some categories of motor drive applications, users have little or no tolerance for unpredictable, uneven, or irregular motor behavior. While this certainly cannot be said of all motor-driven ...

Micronor Inc. has introduced what it claimsis the world's first commercially-available absolute Fiber Optic PositionSensor (FOPS). The new Model MR330 series position sensor offers an ...

Pepperl+Fuchs has developed a new generation of positioning systems that-for the very first time-achieve SIL 3/PLe compliance with a single sensor, making them uniquely safe and highly efficient.

Industrial applications require high transmission rates, more bandwidth and ways to integrate motion control with other applications. CAN open language enables plug ...

Recently I came across a simple infographic from Power Jack Motion that did a nice job of visualizing the difference between alternating current (ac) and direct current (dc) motors. This article will ...

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 ...

They are installed not only in electrical linear motors, but also in pneumatic, hydraulic, ball-screw or power-grip belt drives and wherever high-accuracy, dynamic positioning tasks must be performed.

Rotary encoders convert rotary movement or angular position into analogue or digital signals for use in measurement or control systems. They can be classified in a number of ways, primarily by the ...

Lowering the overall automotive carbon footprint and enabling vehicles to harness lost energy drives the automotive industry today. Due to this worldwide push, manufacturers are now investing in new ...
