Precise motion control often requires more than tracking position within a single rotation. Multi-turn encoders provide ...

When evaluating a motion control system, an integrated approach with hardware and software can be a consideration. More complexity can add to potential points of failure and increased integration ...

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 ...

Integrated motion control allows all kinds of robots to tackle a range of tasks with precision, in contrast with conventional ...

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 ...

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.

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 ...

Automated driving requires highly precise, reliable, and safe vehicle localization. Bosch has developed a vehicle motion and position sensor that allows automated vehicles to precisely determine their ...
