Today, we shall talk about how [Adam Bäckström] took a DS3225 servo and rebuilt it to improve its accuracy, then built a high-precision robot arm with those modified servos to show just how much of an ...

For engineers seeking a motor scaled down in size but not power, QuickSilver Controls has extended its Mosolver (portmanteau of “motor” and “resolver”) servo motion actuator into a NEMA 17 frame ...

Mini 24 V Servo Actuator with Dual Absolute Encoder and Panel Mount Connectors Dual Absolute encoder versions of the FHA-C from Electromate feature BiSS-C bi-directional communication for both ...

Usually, when you want a servo motor, you simply buy one already made. But if you need something unusual, you can turn any DC motor into a custom servo you can control just like [Dejan] did. You can ...

Quantum Devices Inc. recently announced a new series of miniature incremental optical encoders. Each of the encoders in the QM22 series has a 22-mm diameter and 12.4-mm thickness. According to the ...

Encoders are widely used in the motion control and automation industry to monitor the position and speed of motors. This information can be used by the motion control electronics to detect if the ...

The 1FK7 servo motor from Siemens is developed with field-replaceable encoders that make for quick and easy on-site service with no special tools or recalibration required. Automation World covers the ...

Successful designers will understand the key role played by receiver ICs, encoder signal cabling, terminations, and pc-board layout. Today's demanding industrial applications require rugged, reliable ...

In an increasingly virtual world, the ability to simulate touch provides powerful advantages, such as potentially allowing an online shopper to, “feel” a shirt fabric. Enter the discipline of haptics, ...

The International Electrotechnical Commission (IEC) defines a servo device as “an adjustable-speed AC power drive system that includes an AC motor integrated by feedback, a converter, and control, ...
