If you have a brushless motor, you have some magnets, a bunch of coils arranged in a circle, and theoretically, all the parts you need to build a rotary encoder. A lot of people have used brushless or ...

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 ...

Measuring 16 mm in diameter and 62.4 mm in length, the HG16 series dc gearmotors integrate the gear train and an optional encoder. The series includes 12 models with operating voltages of 6V, 12V, and ...

Texas Instrument's (TI) Hercules line of safety processors (see Lockstep Microcontroller For Industrial Applications) expanded with their new TMS570 Arm-based multicore processors designed for ...

To meet the demands of modern motor-control applications, which are being driven by the increased need for more energy-efficient appliances, engineers are looking for ways to better control motor ...

Microchip is aiming at motor control by combining a triple half-bridge mosfet gate driver, a 100MHz processor and CAN FD transceivers in the same IC. Other members of the family offer LIN transceivers ...
