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 ...

MSD: What are the advantages of servopneumatic control over other alternatives? JR • Enfield: Aside from the familiar pros and cons between hydraulics and pneumatics in general (such as force ...

A brushless-DC motor is common in ceiling fan and pan-tilt-zoom (PTZ) camera designs. But you can’t use the same brushless-DC motor solution for both of these end products. A ceiling fan driver ...

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.

It’s long been known that a reactive approach to industrial control system maintenance is not an ideal strategy. Working from a reactive stance, in which problems are corrected as they occur, results ...
