Servo motors are used in many areas in these days like automation technology, robotics and camera auto focus and may other areas. Majority of these applications require precise motor control of servo ...

An optically isolated sigma-delta modulator, the Avago ACPL-C799 from Broadcom, claims to convert an analogue input signal into a high-speed data stream with galvanic isolation. It features a low ...

A single-axis linear servo amplifier for sub-nanometer positioning, the LDM3U emerges as the first to offer either analog or digital current control. The rack-mount unit operates with ac servo, ac ...

Stepper motors resemble servo motors in that both types are characterized by an ability to rotate a partial turn and then stop for any interval with or without holding torque. In addition, both motor ...

As the shift to automation continues to gain momentum in the industrial sector, servo motors and stepper motors with electric actuators become ever more important. When selecting a motor for an ...

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, ...

Early incarnations of the electric motor first appeared in the 1740s through the work of Scottish Benedictine monk and scientist, Andrew Gordon. Other scientists such as Michael Faraday and Joseph ...

Faster, smaller, and smarter is the mantra of today's servo-controlled machines. As a result, end users have come to expect more and better performance, forcing designers to continuously improve ...

Have you ever experienced your power supply and/or motor controller/driver shutting down when your motor is slowing down? This is because your motor will spring up return energy when decelerating, ...
