Aerotech’s XL4s linear amplifier for closed-loop servo control of voice coil and single-phase motors eliminates the nonlinearities common with PWM amplifiers. The unit provides deterministic behavior, ...
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 ...
Combining a high-torque step motor with an on-board drive, encoder, controller and closed-loop servo software into a single package, the integrated motors save on space, wiring, and cost over ...
Open-loop stepper motors have held a prominent position in automation applications over the years due to their simplicity, excellent positioning, and low cost. However, as manufacturers utilize faster ...
The International Electrotechnical Commission (IEC) defines a servo device as “an adjustable-speed AC power drive system that includes an AC motor integrated by feedback, a converter, and control, ...
Today on Hackaday Dictionary, we’re going to talk about the two basic types of control systems: open-loop and closed-loop. We’ll describe the differences between them and explore the various ...
When implementing cooling solutions for electronic equipment, system designers are confronted with a complex set of variables. The cooling requirements are typically dynamic, and ambient temperatures ...
