Inside Machines: Torque production
Case notes: Robots that use motors in the joints present a motion-control challenge. Should the application produce torque using a six-step technique or sinusoidal commutation for brushless dc (BLDC)... » more
Back to Basics: Motion, guidance, positioning
Setting any object in motion makes it necessary to transfer power and overcome friction. For millennia humankind has used rollers and slides; modern technologies are much better. Here’s a quick guide... » more
Pressure sensor family introduced
Balluff's BPS series of pressure sensors come with IP 67 protection and have 11 pressure range versions for monitoring in process media in factory automation. » more
Industrial-grade panel control models
Bourns Inc.'s new panel control models, the Model 54 and 56, are extensions of the Model 51/53. They include a push-pull and rotary switch and are designed for medical, industrial and avionics... » more
Measuring array sensor with IO-Link output
Banner's A-Gage EZ-Array measuring light curtain is designed for high-speed, precise process monitoring and inspection. » more
Pulse control module for time proportional output
Omega Engineering's PCM5 is designed to transmit a signal of up to 20 mA from a process/temperature controller to a time proportional output. » more
Energy Efficiency: Regenerative Braking
Instead of wasting the potential energy associated with the BackEMF voltage of a vehicle's electric motor via heat loss, it can be used to recharge the battery and therefore recover energy for higher... » more
