An integrated mechanical brake, for which Schaeffler has filed a patent, forms a central part of the actuator’s safety concept. When the motor is de-energized, the brake securely holds the actuator – ...

Abstract: Normally, three-phase linear Hall sensor-based embedded magnetic encoder (EME) are used in permanent magnet synchronous motors to detect the rotor angle, in which prefilters are used to ...

Melexis has announced the MLX90520 – a reference inductive encoder IC with 22-bit resolution for rotary & linear movement. The MLX90520 fulfills the demand for high-accuracy, cost-effective position ...

Daniel has been playing games for entirely too many years, with his Steam library currently numbering nearly 750 games and counting. When he's not working or watching anime, he's either playing or ...

An unexpected revisit to my earlier post on mouse encoder hacking sparked a timely opportunity to reexamine quadrature encoders, this time with a clearer lens and a more targeted focus on their signal ...

Designed for demanding industry and research applications of scanning, measuring, imaging, and alignment. Ultra-precise linear motor stage, with 1µm straightness/flatness and 1nm absolute encoder, ...

Designed for demanding industry and research applications of scanning, measuring, imaging, and alignment. (Nanowerk News) Global precision motion control and nanopositioning industry leader PI has ...

A line of Nippon Pulse’s linear shaft motors that features analog Hall effect sensors to enable closed-loop positioning without a linear encoder. Linear motors can be described as uncurled 3-phase ...

Back in the day, engineers didn’t have many options for moving an object from one point to another in a straight line. Pneumatic cylinders were pretty much the only game in town. These days, engineers ...

Nope, streaming hasn’t slowed its relentless takeover of the TV viewing universe. According to a recently released Nielsen report, streaming viewing surpassed linear TV (broadcasting and cable) for ...
