Torque motors are frameless kit motors consisting of a permanent-magnet rotor and laminated stator. A bridge keeps the rotor and stator aligned while the torque motor is assembled. Torque motors come ...

If you've ever had a fastener come loose, break in half, or suffer stripped threads, then it's likely the bolt and nut wasn't properly torqued. Overtighten a bolt and you'll stretch it beyond its ...

The torque wrench is probably the most often-used specialty tool. If you’re like us, you may still have your first torque wrench; we got our Craftsman ½-inch drive clicker-style as a Christmas present ...

In a recent article, I wrote about step-motor system performance emphasizing key concepts that all engineers need to understand about this widely-used electro-magnetic-mechanical digital actuator. As ...

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.

The latest force torque sensors provide the levels of sensitivity and reliability needed for industrial cobot applications.

This article presents Microchip tools and libraries that expands support for motor control. These tools and libraries include the dsPICDEMTM MCLV Development Board, dsPIC33FJ32MC204 Plug-in Module, ...
