When you think about highly-precise actuators, stepper motors probably aren’t the first device that comes to mind. However, as [Diffraction Limited]’s sub-micron capable micro-manipulator shows, they ...

Sometimes it’s necessary to make do with whatever parts one has on hand, but the results of squashing a square peg into a round hole are not always as elegant as [Juan Gg]’s programmable DC load with ...

This repository provides comprehensive information about the Waveshare Stepper Motor Hat, designed for the Raspberry Pi. It facilitates the control of two stepper motors. Power Supply: A 12V, 4A power ...

An interesting trend in industrial motion control has been the replacement of self-contained encoders (rotation sensors with their own housing, bearings and shaft) with modular or “kit” encoders.

Abstract: This paper presents a precision capacitive rotary encoder that integrates a shared charge amplifier, and a multi-stage offset calibration scheme. Recently, capacitive encoders have gained ...

Abstract: This article introduces an inexpensive Wiegand-sensor-based rotary encoder that avoids rotating magnets and is suitable for electrical-drive applications. So far, Wiegand-sensor-based ...

If you ever tried to play the arcade version of Arkanoid on an emulator, you may have found the game impossibly hard. And by that I mean impossible. That's because the game was designed to be played ...

Encoders are a vital component in many applications that require motion control and feedback information. Whether a system’s requirement is speed, direction, or distance, an encoder produces control ...

During the postwar period, White Motor acquired leadership in the heavy-truck and the farm-equipment fields by purchasing small truck makers and small farm-machinery companies such as the Oliver Corp.
