A new series of commutating motor feedback encoders is said to make it easier and cheaper for designers to improve machine performance and productivity in stepper and servo motor applications.

To attain accurate positioning, a servo system requires a feedback signal to close its feedback loop. Instruments that typically supply the feedback signal include optical encoders, resolvers, and ...

Read part 1 of this series on rotary sensors in electric vehicles which covers the use of resolvers and encoders. In an electric vehicle, unless the manufacturer has a means to control vibrations ...

The Exl 1100 Series rotary encoders now come in versions whose mating dimensions are the same as those of common resolvers. The encoders, with EnDat 2.1 interface, have an inductive scanning method in ...

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 ...

POSITAL’s new “kit” encoders provide a new alternative for manufacturers who need closed-loop feedback to control rotary position of servomotors or stepper motors, or to provide commutation for ...
