Why are there so many different angle encoders on the market? Why do they use different scanning and measuring methods? And which one should a designer choose? To answer those questions, engineers at ...

With the new InstaSPIN™-FOC (field-oriented-control) solution from Texas Instruments Incorporated (TI) designers can identify, tune and fully control (through variable speeds and loads) any type of ...

Position encoders are sensors that, when used in industrial settings, produce critical motor information such as speed and position. The encoder delivers data for display or data that may serve as ...

Encoder tracking is a technique that monitors a reference motor with an encoder and controls a secondary motor. Encoder tracking is a technique that monitors a reference motor with an encoder and ...

Alignment of optical encoder commutation signals to a Brushless DC (BLDC) motor could be thought of as being comparable to timing the distributor on a car engine. The distributor tells the spark plugs ...

In robotics, movements must be precise and well-controlled. As robots are asked to do more as industry becomes more familiar with the technology, there will be an increasing need for high accuracy ...
