Direct drives place rigorous demands on position-signal quality. Optimum measuring signals increase the quality of the machined workpiece surface, reduce vibration in the machine frame, stop excessive ...

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 ...

It takes considerable time and effort to manufacture “perfect” surfaces. The mirrors on NASA’s James Webb Space Telescope, with a surface area of about 25 m 2 and finished to accuracies of 25 nm, took ...

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 ...

Lowering the overall automotive carbon footprint and enabling vehicles to harness lost energy drives the automotive industry today. Due to this worldwide push, manufacturers are now investing in new ...

1. This optimised analogue-conditioning circuit can avoid signal distortion caused by nonlinearities, and guarantee an optimum interface between the encoder and ADC. 2. shown is a normalised RC filter ...
