Festo introduces the CMSX, the first in a new generation of process industry closed loop position controllers for quarter turn actuators. The new CMSX delivers high functionality at a price ...

When you think about highly-precise actuators, stepper motors probably aren’t the first device that comes to mind. However, as [Diffraction Limited]’s sub-micron capable micro-manipulator shows, they ...

Bipolar stepper motors provide precise position control while operating in an open loop. Industrial automation applications—such as robots and processing and packaging machinery—and consumer ...

In 2012, Automation World published an article looking at the decision factors faced when choosing electric or pneumatic actuators. More than a decade later, manufacturing engineers and OEMs still ...

Is your motor spinning at the intended rate? Closed-loop motor control systems continue to answer this question, as there tends to be a closed-loop system implemented wherever a motor spins. Whether ...

Closed-loop circulating provides pressure control in many drilling and completion applications for which conventional fluid return systems are inadequate. Flexible and scalable to the task, these ...
