An integrated mechanical brake, for which Schaeffler has filed a patent, forms a central part of the actuator’s safety concept. When the motor is de-energized, the brake securely holds the actuator – ...

Kollmorgen released the next update for the SafeMotion™ Monitor (SMM) firmware: SMM 3.0. This upgrade expands functional ...

An unexpected revisit to my earlier post on mouse encoder hacking sparked a timely opportunity to reexamine quadrature encoders, this time with a clearer lens and a more targeted focus on their signal ...

Abstract: Predicting the temperature in rotary kilns is critical for ensuring product quality. However, traditional prediction methods often struggle with capturing the complex, multiscale temporal ...

Abstract: In this study, we propose a three-dimensional interface using a wire. This interface obtains a three-dimensional position by the length and direction of the wire. The length of the wire is ...

Precision of rotational and linear measurement underpins motion control systems, and optical encoders are a mainstay in delivering this. Converting mechanical motion into digital signals enables ...

Equipped with high-precision crossed-roller bearings installed in a proprietary process, these stages achieve excellent geometric performance: the 130 mm variant, for example, features 1.2 µm ...

The IF56 converter from Lika Electronic is specifically designed to interface SSI and BiSS encoders and integrate them fully and easily into the most popular industrial Ethernet networks: Profinet, ...

LILYGO T-Encoder-Pro is a rotary encoder based on Espressif Systems ESP32-S3 WiFi and Bluetooth SoC, equipped with a 1.2-inch AMOLED with touchscreen support, and two Qwiic connectors for expansion.

SMAC Moving Coil Actuators today introduced its LBR and LDR Series of linear rotary actuators. The company said it equipped these actuators with its Smart Screwdriver technology for precise screw ...

POSITAL's measuring wheels and accessories leverage the company’s IXARC encoders to measure linear motion in conveyor systems, the manufacture of rolled or roll-to-roll products, and similar ...
