Triad of torque, speed and precision applications

December 10, 2020 By Kelsey Zebrowski Leave a Comment

Many applications require drive solutions that have a central opening through which, e.g., light, cables or parts of the application can be guided. Examples of this can be found in optics and photonics for laser steering systems or in automation and robotics for semiconductor handling systems. Until now, conventional systems always resulted in compromises here. […]

Comparing three types of stepper and servomotor power supplies

August 13, 2020 By Lisa Eitel Leave a Comment

In a recent online article, Teknic engineers have outlined how dc-powered motion-control applications differ from most other dc-powered designs … and how the motors in these applications need specialty power supplies. The article focuses on dc power supplies, which are the most common and suitable for fractional-horsepower motors. What makes dc motion-control applications unique are their […]

Motion-control systems help automate COVID-19 testing

March 16, 2020 By Lisa Eitel Leave a Comment

Automated biochemical analyzers vastly accelerate the testing of patient samples in laboratories, which has become critical now that the COVID-19 pandemic has spread across the globe. Advanced automation with motor-based motion systems will help in the fight to hasten diagnosis. Just consider the cobas 6800 and 8800 machines from Roche that automate testing of nasopharyngeal […]

MOONS project astronomers use motion technology from FAULHABER

November 20, 2019 By Lisa Eitel Leave a Comment

When it comes to exploring our disc-shaped spiral galaxy, astronomers have a fundamental problem: Earth is located on the disc of the Milky Way, which obstructs the view of the galaxy’s center (and its other side) with countless stars. So determining where on the disc other celestial bodies are located is difficult to impossible from […]

What is a constant voltage drive for a stepper motor and when is it used?

November 8, 2019 By Danielle Collins Leave a Comment

There are two fundamental types of stepper motor drives: constant voltage drives, which supply a fixed voltage to the motor, and constant current drives, which manipulate voltage to ensure that a constant current is delivered to the motor. Stepper motor electrical basics The most fundamental equation governing the behavior of a stepper motor is Ohm’s law, […]
