An automatic toll gate system using Arduino revolutionises traditional toll collection by eliminating manual intervention.

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 ...

The ABCs of PID control. Considerations for interfacing elements in the electrical circuit to accomplish those parts of the PID function for position control. Firmware code implementation.

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 ...

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.

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 ...
