The design and configuration of an electrical slip ring must consider the operation of the various types of the device and bear in mind a number […]

The Motion Controller The motion controller is the “mind” of any motion control system. In feedback systems, it sends a command toward the drive, compares it […]

One of the most common ways to move a load from point A to point B is to by means of linear translation using a worm […]

A fibre optic rotary joint (FORJ) is the optical equivalent of an electrical contact ring. It provides uninterrupted transmission of an optical signal during rotation along […]

In this article, we present five things to know about slip rings (also called electric slip rings), their brushes, voltage dips, and noise attenuation. The three […]

The term “moment of inertia” is often used with a generic meaning but, depending on the context, can denote three different moments of inertia: mass, planar […]

Comparing electric rod actuators with hydraulic cylinder actuators, which ones offer the best solution for your needs? Hydraulic cylinders have been widely used for decades. However, […]

Put motion control where the work is done A wiring-free cabinet allows designers of automated systems a greater degree of freedom. Now you can build a […]

The speed limit for a stepper motor is essentially a maximum speed that the user sets and that the motor cannot exceed.What is its function?It is […]

Why companies should create lasting relationships with universities Collaboration between industry and academia has always been a topic that is both interesting and complex. As a […]

Slip rings are electromechanical devices which continuously transmit power and electrical signals from a static component to a rotating component and vice-versa.Such devices have many names, […]
