They are installed not only in electrical linear motors, but also in pneumatic, hydraulic, ball-screw or power-grip belt drives and wherever high-accuracy, dynamic positioning tasks must be performed.

The fast update rate option, available for SSI and EtherCAT® protocols, fulfills high, dynamic requirements by shortening the cycle time for a measured value so the controller can read the absolute ...

NIDEC MACHINE TOOL CORP. has developed an electromagnetic-induction linear position detector that digitally detects machines' positioning, feed, and other information. With resolution and accuracy ...

You just finished the design of what is basically a fancy linear stage. Does your motor controller know exactly where the carriage is? Like, really where the carriage ...

A linear actuator combines linear-motion components and a linear shaft motor (direct drive) in one assembly. Such an actuator creates motion in a straight line, in contrast to the circular motion of a ...

Subsea environments are one of the most difficult areas for any sensor to perform, especially when performance life of as much as 20 years is expected in an underwater application. In subsea ...

This application note provides guidelines for selecting a magnet to be used in combination with the MLX90333 Triaxis 3D-Joystick Position Sensor when it is desired to apply this IC as a Linear ...

Motion control systems, which normally control the position of actuator or stage, are at times given the task of providing both position and force control. These systems operate in a dual mode, in ...

Here’s a guide to evaluating and using the latest generation of 3D magnetic sensors, which offer a higher-accuracy alternative to existing 1D Hall-effect sensors. Linear magnetic sensing is becoming ...
