Motion-control architecture appears to be compact and simple. But in reality, the individual servo loops-current, velocity and position-have been traditionally shared between a drive and a separate ...

Motor runaway conditions not only increase expenses, but can also create dangerous situations. The incorporation of a Velocity Limited Torque Mode function on a servo system can mitigate runaway motor ...

Disturbance rejection, like command tracking, is usually expressed graphically. The graphs, called disturbance rejection plots, show the effect of PIV gains on disturbance torque applied to the shaft ...

TOKYO--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Renesas Electronics Corporation (TSE:6723), a premier supplier of advanced semiconductor solutions, today announced Renesas’ highest-perfomance RZ/T2M motor control ...

Servo motor sizing is the process of selecting the best motor for a servo application. Misconceptions engineers can fall into when selecting a motor include: sizing based on the horsepower rating of ...

Maxon Precision Motor's newly released DC servo motor controller, the ESCON 50/5 OEM module. This mini OEM plug in module is a 4 quadrant Pulse Width Modulated (PWM) servo motor controller that can ...

Perhaps the most difficult control problem for a drive servo is that of going down a ramp. Any back drivable drive servo will exhibit a freewheeling velocity on a given ramp. This is the speed at ...
