Feedback on stepper motors for better positioning and holding (and less ringing)

January 15, 2021 By Lisa Eitel Leave a Comment

Feedback-equipped stepper motors are not a complete substitute for servomotors, but they can provide a reliable alternative for many real-world applications. These motion-design solutions improve machine performance without breaking the bank. By Jim Stevens • Product Specialist | POSITAL Inc. Stepper motors are a top choice for many motion and position control applications. They’re available […]

Wiegand sensors offer proximity sensing with extra powers

December 16, 2020 By Miles Budimir Leave a Comment

sensor

Wiegand sensors are tiny devices that use variations in an external magnetic field to generate electrical signals and energy. They have unique properties that make them a useful option for many proximity sensing systems. Wiegand sensors are built around small sections of Wiegand wire, a specially prepared ferromagnetic alloy that has a unique physical property. […]

Cube encoders from POSITAL revive an old industry favorite

October 22, 2019 By Miles Budimir Leave a Comment

encoders

Cube encoders – incremental rotary encoders with a cube-shaped housing – have been popular with machine builders since the 1960s, largely because these devices are easy to install without special mounts or brackets. Now POSITAL has updated this old favorite with new features and capabilities that will keep this design relevant for years to come. […]

POSITAL kit encoders for cost-effective position control of stepper motors

June 29, 2019 By Lisa Eitel Leave a Comment

While servomotors remain the gold standard for precision motion control in industrial machinery, the improved performance of stepper motors is making these lower-cost devices an increasingly attractive alternative for many applications. The key to these performance gains is the addition of rotation-measuring encoders, especially the new absolute multi-turn kit encoders from POSITAL. Stepper motors are […]
