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 ...

Capable of operating as a position, velocity, or force/torque mode amplifier and controller, the VCA 100 module is designed for use with the company’s linear and rotary voice-coil actuators. The ...

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 ...

Pulse width modulation is a form of signal communication that transposes a signal from analog to digital form. Analog signals with changing amplitude and frequency pass through a comparator and are ...

As manufacturing industry continues to replace manual processes with automated versions, servo motors are replacing pneumatic and hydraulic systems (Fig. 1). It’s resulted in a rapid increase in, and ...

This application note presents BLDC motor control using sensor sinusoidal PWM modulation with Z32F128 microcontroller. It also discusses ways on how to implement sinusoidal PWM modulation and ...

Many applications using miniature brushed DC motors require motors to operate at more than one load point or through specific load cycles. Running a motor at usable load points requires a variable, ...
