The electric motor is the fundamental building block of almost all robotic projects but, without some form of feedback, it lacks the precise positional control required for the task. Small servos from ...

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 ...

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.

That level of resolution is ideal for commutation, high-speed motor control, position/velocity control, and replacement of potentiometers and optical encoders. It’s a low-power 3.3-V (or 5-V) device, ...

LSI Computer Systems (LSI/CSI) has created a family of 63 tap (6bit) digital potentiometers for direct connection to quadrature decoders, push buttons, GPIOs or SPI serial controls. Debounce circuits ...

A new magnetic digital encoder featuring 14-bit resolution, differential outputs, and a speed range of up to 200-k e-RPM offers accurate and cost-effective position sensing for various robotic and ...

Precisely tracking speed, acceleration, and position of a motor's rotor is an essential requirement for many motor control applications found in everyday equipment such as fax machines, elevators, and ...

Nanotec Electronic, U.S, Inc. launches the new BLDC motor ASB87. The ASB87 BLDC brushless motor from Nanotec Electronic, U.S, Inc. was developed specifically for rugged environments. The 3-phase motor ...

Brief tutorial video details the background for the development and varied applications of switch, circuit breaker, potentiometer and encoder environmental protection sealing boots. Types, conditions, ...
