Microstep driver With CW and CCW limit inputs Using step and direction signals to operate a motor, the DR-38M intelligent microstep driver offers speed sensed fast/slow decay and ramped jog speed inputs, as well as CW and CCW limit inputs. A 4A, 40V microstep driver, it accepts signals over 28V ......

Offline power supplies that drive loads of 200W and more require inrush-current limiters. Unrestricted inrush currents can reach hundreds of amperes, which may damage the line rectifier, open the fuse and input-filter inductors, and damage the PFC (power-factor-correction) filter capacitors. A simple method of limiting the inrush current uses an ......

Robotic modules Configure up to four axes EZ Modules factory automation robotic units are easy-to-assemble modular axes that can be configured as 1-, 2-, 3- , or 4-axis mechanisms. They run on the company's RC420 and RC520 controllers and ship with RC+ software. Module systems can be upgraded by adding ......

Stepper motors, brushless dc motors, permanent-magnet synchronous motors and other motor types require careful attention to control and driver electronics. To help engineers get a solid start on a design, some suppliers offer evaluation or development kits that include a test motor, a controller, a driver and software. To see ......

Use of the devices that vary speed, torque, and position, such as electronically controlled motors, in motion control systems is growing among industrial manufacturers. Users of motion control systems are installing components that provide the ability to vary the speed, torque, and position of machine elements. The use of devices ......

PIEZOELECTRIC MOTOR Small in size The ST Series Piezoelectric Motor, reportedly the smallest motor of its kind, reduces the overall length of the previous motor by 9 mm. The ST Series, designed for motion in the nanometer range, features high-resolution motion control for rotary or linear mechanisms in a smaller ......
