We always think it is interesting that a regular DC motor and a generator are about the same thing. Sure, each is optimized for its purpose, but inefficiencies aside, you can use electricity to rotate ...

With a Plug & Drive PD2-N integrated closed loop stepping motor, Nanotec expanded its offering of integrated stepper motors with closed loop sine commutation. With a Plug & Drive PD2-N integrated ...

The new SilverPak 23DE, an integrated Nema 23, High Torque, 1.8° bipolar step motor, microstepping driver and encoder is designed to reduce overall design time and system cost for a wide array of step ...

An interesting trend in industrial motion control has been the replacement of self-contained encoders (rotation sensors with their own housing, bearings and shaft) with modular or “kit” encoders.

These AMT series encoders from AutomationDirect can be set for most models using the free AMT Viewpoint software and they also offer line driver and push-pull output signals configurable up to 4096 ...

Building a 3D motor printed motor is one thing, but creating a completely custom servo motor with encoder requires some significant engineering. In the video after the break [365 Robots] takes us ...

Encoders are fantastically useful devices for human-machine interfacing. The issue for the makers, teachers, students, and engineers trying to use them is that many have less-than-ideal output signals ...

Makers, developers and Arduino enthusiasts searching for silent stepper drivers with high resolution encoders which are also Arduino compatible. May be interested in the new range of uStepper S line ...
