Posital has enhanced its IXARC family of incremental magnetic rotary encoders, increasing the maximum resolution to 32,768 pulses per revolution (PPR). This upgrade also includes new phasing options, ...

This library implements non-blocking functions to move a stepper motor by jogging (start/stop on command), or by a set angle (absolute or relative). Constant speed ...

Stepper motor linear actuators (SMLAs) combine a stepper motor, precision lead screw and nut in one compact envelope, providing a highly configurable, customizable and robust system for linear motion.

Abstract: Incremental encoders are widely used for position measurement in angular position hydraulic position motor servo system for its simple structure and low cost. While in the situation that ...

This article is for those who are interested in learning about the fundamentals of DC motor control in electronic systems. The most prevalent form of the motor is a direct current (DC). There is ...

Stepper motors are often used for positioning since they are cost-effective, easy to drive, and can be used in open-loop systems—meaning that they don’t require position feedback like servo motors.

The internals of a stepper motor showing its microsteps. Source: Giedrius/Adobe Stock Stepper motors are ubiquitous in the engineering field, as they have many distinct advantages over brushless DC ...

An interesting trend in industrial motion control has been the replacement of self-contained encoders (rotation sensors with their own housing, bearings and shaft) with modular or “kit” encoders.
