It isn’t hard to imagine a scenario where you are stuck at home all day with nothing to do and certain items are in short supply. Sure, bathroom tissue gets all the press, but try buying some flour or ...

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 ...

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.

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.

Nanotec has introduced UL/CSA certified 56mm flange (NEMA23) stepper motors with integrated position encoders. There are four ASA5618 motors, giving options on 140 or 230Nm torgue (which corresponds ...

For engineers working on precision alignment, inspection and multi-axis motion control, the new AK170-24 Goniometer Stage ...

The LINEARSTEP from Nippon Pulse offers linear motion in a rotary-size package. LINEARSTEP is available with outside dimensions of 25 mm and 35 mm. The motor’s linear shaft movement allows customers ...

The new PJE series of bipolar hybrid stepper motors from Nippon Pulse America Inc. are available in sizes from 20 to 86 mm in diameter (NEMA sizes 8 to 34). The motors provide high torque in each of ...
