Stepper motors resemble servo motors in that both types are characterized by an ability to rotate a partial turn and then stop for any interval with or without holding torque. In addition, both motor ...

One of the more critical decisions engineers can make when designing any type of motion control process is choosing the motor. Getting the right motor, both in terms of type and size, is imperative to ...

The Model 800-1514 dual-axis servo amplifier for current and torque control of brushless servo motors accepts encoder- and Hall-feedback data from a range of servo-motor types, including Yaskawa Sigma ...

There is a whole lot to know about servo motors and drivers. You could make a career out of specializing on that one topic. This article is a very small collection of some of the features to consider ...

Sponsored by Texas Instruments: Single-chip microcontrollers geared to servo and other industrial/EV control applications help engineers cost-effectively design multiple-axis systems. As manufacturing ...

The two most important electric motors are the ac induction motor and the permanent magnet (PM) brushless synchronous motor, also known as the brushless dc or ac servo motor. These motors have ...
