Step motors are a natural choice when design specs call for low-cost automation with accurate, open-loop control. But finding the right stepper for a given application can be a challenge. There’s a ...

Translational and rotational motion are compared and contrasted. Rotational Inertia &Torque: Translational and rotational motion are compared and contrasted. Students learn to distinguish between ...

In this episode of Crash Course Physics, Shini sits down with us to discuss what torque is, how it works, why it works, and what it all has to do with this thing called "Moment of Inertia." Crash ...

As machine builders push for higher throughput, tighter control accuracy, and smaller footprints, the selection of servo ...

When it’s time to specify a high-performance motor that offers both precise positioning and cost efficiency, stepper motors offer many advantages over DC motors thanks to their brushless technology.

Engineers at R+W America, Bensenville, Ill. (www.rw-america.com), have redesigned the SL Series of torque limiters so that they have less mass and inertia, which translates into energy savings, higher ...

Torque is an important factor in much of the equipment on a factory floor. Measuring torque is often something that's misunderstood, which can lead to over- under-designing of measurement systems.

Robotics is evolving fast—faster payload requirements, tighter energy budgets, smaller footprints, and higher expectations ...
