The Icon PID Position Controller is designed to work seamlessly with the Icon H-Bridge module. When used with a brushed dc motor and quadrature encoder, the two devices form a highly versatile ...
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, ...
Servo refers to an error sensing feedback control which is used to correct the performance of a system. Servo motor is a DC motor equipped with a servo mechanism for ...
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 ...
Sanyo Denki Co. Ltd. is using the Actel Fusion mixed-signal FPGA in Sanyo’s new RA035 position-detection device (encoder) for servo motors in industrial applications. The 600,000-gate AFS600 device ...
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 ...
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.
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 ...
A brushless-DC motor is common in ceiling fan and pan-tilt-zoom (PTZ) camera designs. But you can’t use the same brushless-DC motor solution for both of these end products. A ceiling fan driver ...
