Maxon’s Escon2 speed controllers now come with a built-in method for operating accurately without an encoder The Swiss motion control specialist maxon has developed a speed measurement method for ...

Stepper motors are a mainstay in precision control systems, valued for their simple open-loop operation and high torque at low speeds. Commonly found in CNC machines, 3D printers, and robotics, they ...

EBE Sensors+Motion has revised its manual handwheel rotary encoder, designed for precise adjustment of machines. Inside the encoder, called HR100, the 100 detent ‘clicks’ are created by magnetic ...

This library uses a PCF8575 to read the pulses of a rotary encoder. As a PCF8575 has 16 lines up to 5 decoders with a switch can be read over I2C. The PCF interrupt line can be used to detect changes ...

Selecting the right motor and motor control for an industrial application can yield higher efficiency, save board space and reduce design complexity. A combination of the right motor and motor driver ...

Now lets get back to our TMC2208 stepper driver module understand its basics and learn how to use it with an Arduino UNO board. One of the standout features of the TMC2208 is its ability to operate ...

When you need to make very tiny measurements, even noise in closed relays can throw you off. [Marco] was able to observe this effect and wanted to build a switch that didn’t have this problem. He ...

How optical rotary encoders can provide real-time motion feedback on motion applications using stepper motor-driven linear actuators. Stepper motor linear actuators with added optical encoders (From ...

Abstract: Electric motors are the most widely used actuators for converting electrical to mechanical energy. Stepper motors perform various automated tasks because their position control is accurate.

Jan. 9, 2024 - Thomson Industries, Inc., a leading manufacturer of linear motion control solutions, has announced the availability of a rotating-nut stepper motor linear actuator (SMLA) with a rotary ...
