When is dither helpful in motion control systems?

September 3, 2021 By Danielle Collins Leave a Comment

dither signal

Dither is one of several terms used to describe small, rapid, back-and-forth movements of an object. Depending on the context, when the term “dither” is used in motion control systems, it can refer to purposeful, commanded movements or to unintended, unwanted motion. In some motion systems, dither is purposely induced to reduce the effects of […]

Standard versus custom: Which motor is right for your application?

August 17, 2021 By Kelsey Zebrowski Leave a Comment

By Travis Lake • Motor and Gear Motor Solutions | Power Electric Machine builders have a lot to consider when designing solutions for a specific application. One key consideration is to determine whether it is better to design around a standard, off-the-shelf motor, or to design a custom motor that precisely matches the application requirements. […]

Customized and reliable stepper motors address HVAC damper application extremes

July 26, 2021 By Danielle Collins Leave a Comment

stepper motor damper actuator

In any HVAC (heating, ventilation, and air conditioning) system, dampers are used to regulate airflow inside the ducts. In some systems, manual dampers allow personnel to turn a handle on the outside of a duct. But if you have to regulate airflow on a constant basis, you’ll need automatic dampers with electric or pneumatic motors […]
