Advances in linear motors and hybrid actuators are pushing motion systems toward higher precision, speed and efficiency. A ...

A line of Nippon Pulse’s linear shaft motors that features analog Hall effect sensors to enable closed-loop positioning without a linear encoder. Linear motors can be described as uncurled 3-phase ...

Novel bi-phase piezo motor enables accurate linear motion in an extremely compact package, new from PI. PI’s B-421 miniaturized piezo stages provide 10 nm positioning resolution in an extremely ...

What if you’ve already seen fragments of the future - without realizing it? In this thought experiment grounded in Einstein’s relativity, we unpack how a simple diagram changes our entire ...

The IF56 converter from Lika Electronic is specifically designed to interface SSI and BiSS encoders and integrate them fully and easily into the most popular industrial Ethernet networks: Profinet, ...

In the early days of 3D printers, most builds used smooth rods and bearings that rode on them. But these days, printers are shipping with either V-slot extrusions with Delrin wheels or linear rails.

Abstract: In this article, a new absolute encoder design based on a microcontroller (μC), which is cheap and simple to manufacture and produces high-precision linear output, is presented. Our ...
