A research team led by Professor Kaiji Sato (Robotics and Mechatronics Laboratory, Department of Mechanical Engineering, Toyohashi University of Technology) revealed a method for designing with ease ...

The controllers that drive modern motor-powered designs must be set up with accurate motion profiles — including position, velocity, and time targets. However, developing a realistic motion profile ...

The ABCs of PID control. Considerations for interfacing elements in the electrical circuit to accomplish those parts of the PID function for position control. Firmware code implementation.

Hydraulics is great for lifting heavy loads and applying large amounts of force, but the same power that is required to exert a large amount of lifting or compression force can also do damage or ...

Microchip’s LX34070 inductive position sensor aims to replace less accurate magnet-based designs for safety-critical EV motor positioning control. The IC provides differential outputs, fast sample ...

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 ...

Topcon satellite-based earthmover grade controls locate the cutting edge using U.S. global positioning system, European Galileo and Russian GLONASS satellite signals. Comparing actual position to a ...

In some categories of motor drive applications, users have little or no tolerance for unpredictable, uneven, or irregular motor behavior. While this certainly cannot be said of all motor-driven ...
