The cutaway shows the positions of the different absolute angle encoders: (a) a Heidenhain RCN 8311, a typical sealed encoder for rotary tables and swivel heads in high-accuracy machine tools; (b ...

Integrated Motor Feedback. Servomotors are frequently used for precise position control in robots or high-accuracy machine tools. Optical encoder technology has been a favorite in this area ...

DC motors (BLDC) to optimise control precision without requiring an encoder. The new method is based on an advanced approach ...

The industrial landscape is populated with ever faster high-performance machines, in whose environment a whole range of robots and automatic feed systems are also operating in order to 'unload' the ...

The NEMA‑AMT112S stepper servo motor family is available in compact NEMA 8, 11, 14, 17, and 23 frame sizes with a step angle of 1.8-degrees and holding torques ranging from 3-270oz-in (0.021-1.90N-m).

HEIDENHAIN introduces a new series of functionally safe hollow-shaft connection encoders to the manufacturing equipment industry. Called the ECN/EQN/ERN 400 series, these new rotary encoders are ...

Basically the motor is used as a low res. inductive encoder. If you turn the rotor, the “output” signals will be asimmetric. I tried it once, and it was indeed significant, measurable with an ...
