Lead screws are often called the workhorses of motion control. They consist of a threaded shaft and a nut that carries the load along the shaft or guides the shaft in moving the load, and they derive ...

Mouser Electronics, Inc., is helping engineers stay ahead in motor control design with its online motor control resource center. Advanced motor control seeks to precisely regulate a motor's speed, ...

Here’s a little engineering quiz for you: If an app needs to move a 500 kN axial load along a 1,500 mm stroke, is it best to use a roller screw or ball screw? If you instinctively said roller screw, ...

Both software and hardware are parts of all motor control systems such as IGBTs, WBG semiconductors and MCUs. Industry 4.0 strongly relies on motor control for its development but energy consumption ...

The topic of motors and motor control techniques is wide and varied. Part one of this two-part article will cover the principles of alternating-current (AC) motor operation and control. Part two will ...

Ok, I lied. This is more of a "do my math" request than a question. I'm working on a project that requires lifting a 10 lb load vertically using a lead screw (threaded shaft) and then lowering it ...

“HW-687 is one easy module for adding speed regulation to your next DC motor-based project. It is a simple pulse-width–modulated speed controller providing smooth control with almost no jerks. There ...
