Monitoring takes the form of sensors and intelligent devices connected to a digital processor. These monitored values are used for computing and then controlling some sort of real-world action. Many ...

RC servos are handy when you need to rotate something. You can even modify them to rotate continuously if that’s what you need. However, [Roger Rabbit] needed linear motion, but wanted the simple ...

Linear- and rotary-motion control products can typically transmit data through one or more communications interface, which are designed to allow easy configuration of the product and monitoring of ...

PI announces the launch of the V-625 direct drive rotation stage, a high-performance rotary positioning and scanning stage designed for applications requiring smooth, high-precision rotary motion.

Piezoelectricity—the characteristic of certain solid materials whereby electric charge accumulates internally and is released when the material is stressed—was discovered by Jaques and Pierre Curie in ...

An electric driver is a system capable of converting electrical energy into mechanical energy. Today’s technology, of course, allows highly sophisticated drives. The autonomous movement of machines ...

In the next few weeks, linear motors will face their ultimate litmus test. After years in the eye of a swirling technical storm, surrounded by doubters who say they're too expensive, supported by a ...

This video shows Q-Motion ® high-resolution positioning systems that are very small and versatile. The functional principle of the piezoelectric inertia drive enables easy configuration of the control ...
