Direct drive motors have been in existence for several years, but it is only with the recent increase in demand for improved performance that they have become more commonly employed. In this piece, ...

As robotic and robotic-assisted commodities spread through the industrial, commercial, and medical markets, novel design approaches are beginning to emerge, which focus on smaller and more compact ...

There are two inevitable imperatives when it comes to EV motors: the integration of wide-bandgap (WBG) power electronics and the need for high-accuracy motor control techniques. For one, as 200mm SiC ...

The International Electrotechnical Commission (IEC) defines a servo device as “an adjustable-speed AC power drive system that includes an AC motor integrated by feedback, a converter, and control, ...

FlexSearch has been helping developers around the world build powerful, efficient search functionalities for years. Maintaining and improving the library requires significant time and resources. If ...

Part 1 of this FAQ looked at the optical rotary encoder, a low-cost, high-resolution, easy-to-use sensor for indicating incremental shaft position (although it can be “upgraded” to indicate absolute ...

Understanding the differences between trapezoidal, sinusoidal, and field-oriented control can help engineers understand the value of Field Oriented Control (FOC) and the choices available to optimize ...

Brushless DC (BLDC) motors offer many operating attributes in performance and controllability, but they may require a position (rotation) sensor such as an encoder, resolver, or Hall-effect device to ...

As previously mentioned, the feedback sensors include position sensors to track the rotor’s location, current sensors to measure the motor phase currents, voltage sensors to monitor the DC bus voltage ...

This code repo contains the code for B-Minor compiler. B-Minor includes expressions, basic control flow, recursive functions, and strict type checking. It is object-code compatible with ordinary C and ...
