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 ...

AMT series encoders from CUI Devices are advanced capacitive encoders with a variety of uses. AMT series encoders are typically mounted to the back of a stepper motor but can be used in many other ...

Nanotec has introduced UL/CSA certified 56mm flange (NEMA23) stepper motors with integrated position encoders. There are four ASA5618 motors, giving options on 140 or 230Nm torgue (which corresponds ...

The PS211 Series reaches up to 200,000 steps/rev at a fine-pitch resolution angle of 0.0018 in. Constructed of polished steel, the motors have magnetic elements and long-lasting durable metal material ...

They do this with greater efficiency and less motor heating because motor phase currents are regulated up and down according to need. Performance of the closed-loop steppers are similar to servo ...

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 ...

Building a 3D motor printed motor is one thing, but creating a completely custom servo motor with encoder requires some significant engineering. In the video after the break [365 Robots] takes us ...

Before choosing between a two-phase or five-phase step motor, take a closer look at the application's requirements and the motor's capabilities. More is not always better, but more phases certainly ...

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.

Encoders are fantastically useful devices for human-machine interfacing. The issue for the makers, teachers, students, and engineers trying to use them is that many have less-than-ideal output signals ...
