Recently I came across a simple infographic from Power Jack Motion that did a nice job of visualizing the difference between alternating current (ac) and direct current (dc) motors. This article will ...

When evaluating a motion control system, an integrated approach with hardware and software can be a consideration. More complexity can add to potential points of failure and increased integration ...

While current control and PWM switching play the most direct role in driving brushless DC motors, the motion profile and ...

Accessibility of ultrafast lasers is increasing, with researchers, OEM tool builders and system integrators leveraging the power of these devices in a range of applications. Image Credit: PI (Physik ...

They are installed not only in electrical linear motors, but also in pneumatic, hydraulic, ball-screw or power-grip belt drives and wherever high-accuracy, dynamic positioning tasks must be performed.

AI can be added to legacy motion control systems in three phases with minimal disruption: data collection via edge gateways, non-interfering anomaly detection and supervisory control integration.
