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 ...

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 ...

The most common arrangement, which is used with only minor variations from small drives of say 0.5 kW up to the largest industrial drives of several megawatts, is the so-called two-loop control. This ...

Open-loop motors previously working in this system elevated the temperature of fluids being pumped into the bioreactor. The higher temperatures, in turn, adversely affected biological processing times ...

A new software product promises to boost the bandwidth of a servo drive’s current control loop, opening up new possibilities in industrial motion control applications. Fast Current Loop software is ...

Open-loop current sensors have a definite price advantage over closed-loop counterparts. While you can use them in drive applications where torque accuracy isn't demanding — such as pump and fan ...

Combining a high-torque step motor with an on-board drive, encoder, controller and closed-loop servo software into a single package, the integrated motors save on space, wiring, and cost over ...

Brushless dc (BLDC) motors are widely used in industrial and home applications, such as in HVAC blowers, because of their efficiency and cost advantage. Furthermore, sensorless control of BLDC motors ...

The global automotive closed loop current transducer market is exhibiting consistent, low-risk expansion as vehicle electrification and power electronics complexity continue to reshape automotive ...

The I/O capabilities built into most microcontrollers make it easy to measure the analog world. Say you want to build a data logger for temperature. All you need to do is get some kind of sensor that ...
