With modern technology, it is quite simple to create a complete home automation system, which allows you to control any type of load using your smartphone. This article helps you to design an IoT ...

Stepper motors produce accurate, computer-controlled motion for applications such as robotic arms and paper-feed mechanisms for printers. They require current pulses delivered through a special ...

Authored by: George Ellis, Chief Engineer, Servo Systems, Kollmorgen, Radford, Va. Key points: Three key measures — accuracy, response, and robust stability — characterize how servosystems perform.

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 ...

Faster, smaller, and smarter is the mantra of today's servo-controlled machines. As a result, end users have come to expect more and better performance, forcing designers to continuously improve ...

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, ...

How do you control one motor as the active load? Very simply using an InstaSPIN-MOTION™-enabled motor kit from TI (eg, DRV8301-69M-KIT). Using InstaSPIN-MOTION proj_lab12b (Encoder feedback with ...
