As previously mentioned, the feedback sensors include position sensors to track the rotor’s location, current sensors to measure the motor phase currents, voltage sensors to monitor the DC bus voltage ...

Encoders are integral parts of motor-control systems that sense mechanical motion, then generate digital signals in response to that motion. The trend today is to create smaller mechanical and ...

Precisely tracking speed, acceleration, and position of a motor's rotor is an essential requirement for many motor control applications found in everyday equipment such as fax machines, elevators, and ...

Encoders are fantastically useful devices for human-machine interfacing. The issue for the makers, teachers, students, and engineers trying to use them is that many have less-than-ideal output signals ...

Position encoders are sensors that, when used in industrial settings, produce critical motor information such as speed and position. The encoder delivers data for display or data that may serve as ...

We always think it is interesting that a regular DC motor and a generator are about the same thing. Sure, each is optimized for its purpose, but inefficiencies aside, you can use electricity to rotate ...
