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 rot… ...

Position encoders are sensors that, when used in industrial settings, produce critical motor information such as speed and position. The encoder delivers data for display or data that may serve as ...

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 ...

Although integrated motor feedback is taking a growing share of the market for motion control systems, the future for standalone encoders continues to look bright.

PI introduces a new high dynamics linear motor stage family, the V-574 - a new series of linear positioning stages with excellent guiding precision and frictionless 3-phase linear motors.

If you are [Tech Build] you go all MacGyver on an old printer and pull out a stepper motor. How does a stepper motor turn into an encoder? Well, that’s the MacGyver part.

The 3-phase motor with a size of 87 mm (Nema 34) is IP65-rated except for the shaft exit, it has a built-in 1024 CPR magnetic encoder.
