We always think it is interesting that a regular DC motor and a generator are about the same thing. Sure, each is optimized for its purpose, but inefficiencies aside, you can use electricity to rotate ...

A rotary encoder is a type of electromechanical position sensor that can be used to identify the angular position of the rotary shaft. This type of sensor or module generates an electrical signal ...

Connect one coil to A0 and A1; the other one to A2 and A3. If connected properly, this program will send characters representing the movement of the stepper. If nothing is sent, try to flip A0 and A1.

Jan. 9, 2024 - Thomson Industries, Inc., a leading manufacturer of linear motion control solutions, has announced the availability of a rotating-nut stepper motor linear actuator (SMLA) with a rotary ...

What is a rotary encoder? A rotary encoder (RT) is a device that you can rotate infinitely. On most rotary encoders, when you rotate them you will feel a bump (known as steps), and most RTs have about ...

The other day we had a big problem. The Saddle feeder's speed control was done by a hydraulic device which consists of a wheel having a complete 360 degree rotation representing from zero speed to ...

You can create a release to package software, along with release notes and links to binary files, for other people to use. Learn more about releases in our docs.

Makers, developers and Arduino enthusiasts searching for silent stepper drivers with high resolution encoders which are also Arduino compatible. May be interested in the new range of uStepper S line ...

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.

In a project, repetitive tasks that break the flow of development work are incredibly tiresome and even simple automation can make a world of difference. [Simon Merrett] ran into exactly this while ...

This is a submission from Mouser Electronics on superior encoder technology. Rotary encoders have a critical role to play in modern motion control systems, allowing rotational movement to be tracked ...
