Inductive sensors achieve fast response times. Changes in position or speed cause immediate alterations in the induced eddy currents, which directly affect the inductance of the sensor coil. This ...

Get the most out of brushless dc motors by specifying optical encoders. They measure finer movements than hall sensors, because their operation doesn't rely on motor phases. Brushless dc (BLDC) motors ...

Whether you're a motor designer/builder or buyer/user, understanding how the efficiency of brushless DC motors is improved with the use of Hall-effect sensors is important to your building and/or ...

This application note presents three-phase hall sensor BLDC driver using the Z51F3220 microcontroller. It investigates the closed- and open-loop control of a 3-phase brushless direct current using the ...

This MultiMotor Series application note investigates the closed- and open-loop control of a 3-phase brushless direct current (BLDC) motor using a Z32F128 ARM Cortex M3 MCU. Zilog’s ZNEO32! Family of ...

Timing a brushless DC motor to a commutation device whether it's a hall sensor or commutating encoder is a time consuming, specialized & expensive process for motor manufacturers. Discover ...

Quantum Devices Inc. recently announced a new series of miniature incremental optical encoders. Each of the encoders in the QM22 series has a 22-mm diameter and 12.4-mm thickness. According to the ...

Rotary encoders convert rotary movement or angular position into analogue or digital signals for use in measurement or control systems. They can be classified in a number of ways, primarily by the ...
