FAQ: What are mechanical, fluid-power, and elastomeric material dampers?
Vibration in industrial machinery often originates from imbalances inherent to motors, gearboxes, and other turning component that excites natural frequencies. Dampers in this context are components that counteract and often isolate the vibration source from the rest of the design or machine — to prevent its propagation of mechanical oscillation. Watch the recent video on […]
Drive and logic in new mini servo drive from Elmo Motion Control use single power source
Elmo Motion Control (Elmo) now offers a new enhanced Gold-Twitter version with single source up to 95 Vdc. This allows users to use a single source power for both the drive and logic power. As part of its continuous engineering efforts, the Elmo R&D team was able to integrate a higher voltage internal supply into […]
