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 ...

Today’s electric motor drive market offers system designers more options than ever before. On the AC side, motor drives provide highly flexible solutions with a growing array of features like variable ...

The circuit illustrates the operation of solid state switches as it controls the movement and the direction of the motor as denoted by the LED. DC Motor – a single coil apparatus used to convert ...

A:Hi Chris, and yes, you can diagnose this problem yourself. I have had a lot of questions on how to diagnose and repair cruise control for all different generations of the Corvette. Since you did not ...

The International Electrotechnical Commission (IEC) defines a servo device as “an adjustable-speed AC power drive system that includes an AC motor integrated by feedback, a converter, and control, ...

It is an engineering truism that there is no such thing as a perfect solution—just the best solution for the problem at hand. That holds particularly true for servo motors and stepper motors. Both are ...

Stepper motors resemble servo motors in that both types are characterized by an ability to rotate a partial turn and then stop for any interval with or without holding torque. In addition, both motor ...
