The task of position control will be discussed for the case of a linear servo motor. To begin with, the mathematical function governing the PID controller’s operation is presented. We’ll show ...

The new iteration of this control option implements position-based synchronization within the actuators’ onboard electronics ...

A new Linear Rail System uses a precision leadscrew assembly to provide controlled positioning along the axis of a robust linear slide A new Linear Rail System uses a precision leadscrew assembly ...

To optimize manufacturing production, MTS' magnetostrictive linear-position sensors offer superior accuracy for improved quality control; unparalleled reliability to maintain high productivity; and ...

In this paper, a novel linear active disturbance rejection control (LADRC ... Nguyen MN, Tran DT and Ahn KK. Robust position and vibration control of an electrohydraulic series elastic manipulator ...

Linear position sensors play an important role in today’s complex and increasingly efficient manufacturing processes. Providing accurate, reliable, continuous position feedback is only the start.

Posital’s MDW draw-wire linear position sensors, with analog voltage or current output, are for use in low-cost analog-control systems. Posital’s MDW draw-wire linear position sensors ...

Novotechnik U.S. introduces the TE1 Series of absolute linear position sensors, with integrated microprocessor and associated circuitry to provide signal conditioning for a current or voltage ...

This will work for simple on/off control, but what if you want a linear, position-sensitive input, like you’d find on a computer touchpad or your smartphone screen? Not so easy — at least ...

It will also need a feedback mechanism, like an optical sensor or encoder, for accurate linear position control. Because the rotor has high inertia, consider adding a braking system. A stepper motor ...

But magnetostriction has other uses, too, such as in this clever linear position sensor. Magnetostriction is just the tendency for magnetic materials to change size or shape slightly while ...
