Electronics

As we dive further into sizing and selecting mechanics, there are a couple of terms that are extremely important in understanding the requirements of an application.

Before we dive into the meat of the matter of sizing and selecting mechanics, there are some basic concepts we need to understand: namely the force, torque, moment, inertia, and axes of motion.

You may be wondering what the main components are that you need to make a motion control system. What are the minimum number of components you need?

WIKA Mini Diaphragm Gauge

WIKA's mini diaphragm gauge was developed for high purity applications with limited space requirements, such as smaller integrated gas stick and gas box assemblies. The nominal sizes of 1" and 1.3" are ideal for applications involving gaseous, liquid and corrosive media up to 160 psi.

Need to Reduce Vibration and Noise in Your Machines?

Vibration and noise control for stepper motors has been a focus of machine builders in recent years. Too much vibration can cause missed steps, and minimization of noise can widen applications outside of factory automation. The good news is that recent advances in driver technology can help.

Ideally, stepper motors should operate smoothly without vibration throughout all speed ranges. In reality, they run with some vibration at low, mid, or high speeds, causing unwanted noise. This type of vibration is called "rotation vibration" and developing the suppression system for the rotation vibration is a major challenge.

2-Phase Bipolar Stepper Motor CVD Driver

The new 2-Phase Bipolar Stepper Motor CVD Driver offers superior performance and value and is ideal for OEM or single axis machines. T

Enerdoor EMI/RFI Filters and EMC Testing

It can be challenging for OEMs, system integrators and distributors to find “invisible noise.” Unwanted EMI and RFI noise can degrade the performance of communication systems and cause false triggering and faulty readings in sensor circuits.

Enerdoor EMI-RFI Filters

EMI and RFI are types of electric or electronic emission that can degrade, impair or prevent electrical circuit performance. To protect and optimize equipment performance, Enerdoor offers one of the largest ranges of solutions to reduce electromagnetic / radio-frequency interference.

Mechanical rotary power given from a motor must be driven by an appropriate amount of electrical power provided by the drive. Rotary power is provided for by the electrical input power and the rotary power cannot exceed the electrical. Therefore, it is important to verify the power throughout the system from power supply all the way to the motor or gearbox output shaft.
