Recently I came across a simple infographic from Power Jack Motion that did a nice job of visualizing the difference between alternating current (ac) and direct current (dc) motors. This article will ...

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 ...

The importance of motor trajectory profiles and how they’re used in brushless DC (BLDC) motor control to minimize vibration and smooth out other performance issues. Why the PID loop is the most widely ...

Industrial applications require high transmission rates, more bandwidth and ways to integrate motion control with other applications. CAN open language enables plug ...

Accessibility of ultrafast lasers is increasing, with researchers, OEM tool builders and system integrators leveraging the power of these devices in a range of applications. Image Credit: PI (Physik ...

AI can be added to legacy motion control systems in three phases with minimal disruption: data collection via edge gateways, non-interfering anomaly detection and supervisory control integration.

How brushless DC motors use electronic commutation to maximize efficiency and ensure smooth and stable motion. Compare trapezoidal, sinusoidal, and sensorless commutation techniques, including key ...
