The ABCs of PID control. Considerations for interfacing elements in the electrical circuit to accomplish those parts of the PID function for position control. Firmware code implementation.

In today’s world, motors are ubiquitous, powering everything from household appliances to industrial machinery. The importance of optimizing motor control for energy efficiency cannot be overstated, ...

Victor, N.Y. — Developed to simplify computer control of its piezoelectric SQUIGGLE motors and closed-loop linear nanopositioning stages, the SQ-2300 series benchtop motor controller from New Scale ...

Prior to the advent of the adjustable-speed drive (ASD), the polyphase induction motor operated as a constant-speed motor. Figure 1 shows the well-known torque and current curves versus speed for the ...

DNA-nanoparticle motors are exactly as they sound: tiny artificial motors that use the structures of DNA and RNA to propel motion by enzymatic RNA degradation. Essentially, chemical energy is ...

Sometimes, a little puny matchbox-sized electronic speed controller (ESC) won’t do the job. If you find yourself looking for something heftier, say, in the range of hundreds of amps, you might look ...

The AH5792 smart motor controller from Diodes Inc. can be used to drive low-power, single-coil, brushless dc (BLDC) fans and motors. This single-chip solution integrates a Hall sensor and amplifier, ...
