Stepper motors are a mainstay in precision control systems, valued for their simple open-loop operation and high torque at ...

The ABCs of PID ... control, r(t) is a set position and y(t) is the current position. A diagram can provide us a much more intuitive understanding of how this math works when applied to a servo motor.

High-performance motors need a control mechanism that ensures enhanced smoothness, reliability, and efficiency. One of the most apt examples of such an application is the motor used ... input—the ...

Addressing this situation, the LX34070 IC from Microchip Technology targets electric-vehicle (EV) motor-control applications. This high-speed inductive-position sensor includes differential ...

Modifying a servo no longer requires opening the DC motor within. The PID control system in a typical hobby servo is very good at two things: moving to a new position quickly, and holding that ...
