Is your motor spinning at the intended rate? Closed-loop motor control systems continue to answer this question, as there tends to be a closed-loop system implemented wherever a motor spins. Whether ...

Open-loop stepper motors have held a prominent position in automation applications over the years due to their simplicity, excellent positioning, and low cost. However, as manufacturers utilize faster ...

When you think about highly-precise actuators, stepper motors probably aren’t the first device that comes to mind. However, as [Diffraction Limited]’s sub-micron capable micro-manipulator shows, they ...

Motors account for at least half of the energy consumed in the U.S. Selecting the right control method for an application lets the motor run most efficiently while maximizing torque and overall ...

A new closed-loop motor designed to offer “unparalleled performance” will soon be available to purchase via the Crowd Supply website in the form of the IQ Motor Module. Design to provide users with an ...

EUROelectronics is a machine builder that was asked to design a closed-loop hydraulic cylinder control system for a die-casting press machine. The high-speed press moves anywhere from 0 to 10 m/s and ...

Stepper motor systems are highly efficient when producing torque, but lack operational efficiency when not producing torque. Applied Motion Products offers insights on how to make a greener and more ...

motor control based on a six-step commutation sequence; detection of the magnetic angle of the rotor, to perform the commutation at the correct angle (each step corresponds to an angle of 60 degrees); ...
