The importance of motor trajectory profiles and how they’re used in brushless DC (BLDC) motor control to minimize vibration and smooth out other performance issues. Why the PID loop is the most widely ...

Closed-loop control of stepping motors integrates feedback from position or current observers to achieve high precision, rapid response and robustness against load disturbances. Unlike traditional ...

Bipolar stepper motors provide precise position control while operating in an open loop. Industrial automation applications—such as robots and processing and packaging machinery—and consumer ...

Brushless DC (BLDC) motors are standard fare in low-precision, speedy RC applications. The control schemes needed to run them slowly or precisely go deep into motor theory and might put these motors ...

A brushless-DC motor is common in ceiling fan and pan-tilt-zoom (PTZ) camera designs. But you can’t use the same brushless-DC motor solution for both of these end products. A ceiling fan driver ...

Stepper motor linear actuators (SMLAs) combine a stepper motor, precision lead screw and nut in one compact envelope, providing a highly configurable, customizable and robust system for linear motion.

As previously mentioned, the feedback sensors include position sensors to track the rotor’s location, current sensors to measure the motor phase currents, voltage sensors to monitor the DC bus voltage ...

Graceful Shutdown: Ensuring the motor and controller are shut down safely when the application is stopped. If the application operates on a multicore MCU/DSP/FPGA, an appropriate inter-core ...

Combining a high-torque step motor with an on-board drive, encoder, controller and closed-loop servo software into a single package, the integrated motors save on space, wiring, and cost over ...

Born out of the University of Pennsylvania’s robotics lab, IQ Motion Control is a tech startup that delivers the ultimate drone motor module for versatility and performance. We first gained ...
