An integrated mechanical brake, for which Schaeffler has filed a patent, forms a central part of the actuator’s safety concept. When the motor is de-energized, the brake securely holds the actuator – ...

Abstract: Normally, three-phase linear Hall sensor-based embedded magnetic encoder (EME) are used in permanent magnet synchronous motors to detect the rotor angle, in which prefilters are used to ...

Bids will be received to procure and install approximately 800 linear feet of highway guide rail in the Reading, PA area. Contractors interested in bidding this project are to contact the following ...

An unexpected revisit to my earlier post on mouse encoder hacking sparked a timely opportunity to reexamine quadrature encoders, this time with a clearer lens and a more targeted focus on their signal ...
