The 1FK7 servo motor from Siemens is developed with field-replaceable encoders that make for quick and easy on-site service with no special tools or recalibration required. Automation World covers the ...

Targeting brush motors running at less than 100W with quadrature encoders, the 3C20 digital-motion controller claims a 32-bit or greater precision in position, velocity and acceleration, and jerk ...

For engineers seeking a motor scaled down in size but not power, QuickSilver Controls has extended its Mosolver (portmanteau of “motor” and “resolver”) servo motion actuator into a NEMA 17 frame ...

With the introduction of its EES37 single turn encoder and EEM37 multiturn encoders, SICK has completed its product portfolio for HIPERFACE DSL® standard servo motor feedback systems, while achieving ...

TE Connectivity is aiming at servo motor manufacturers with a range of connectors for different types of electric motors. “Trends in motor connectivity focus on miniaturisation, reduction of ...

The International Electrotechnical Commission (IEC) defines a servo device as “an adjustable-speed AC power drive system that includes an AC motor integrated by feedback, a converter, and control, ...

As the shift to automation continues to gain momentum in the industrial sector, servo motors and stepper motors with electric actuators become ever more important. When selecting a motor for an ...

How do you make things move? You add in a motor that converts electrical energy into motion. That’s a simple idea, but how do you know where the motor is? That’s where the servo motor comes in. By ...

In an increasingly virtual world, the ability to simulate touch provides powerful advantages, such as potentially allowing an online shopper to, “feel” a shirt fabric. Enter the discipline of haptics, ...

It is an engineering truism that there is no such thing as a perfect solution—just the best solution for the problem at hand. That holds particularly true for servo motors and stepper motors. Both are ...
