Alignment of optical encoder commutation signals to a Brushless DC (BLDC) motor could be thought of as being comparable to timing the distributor on a car engine. The distributor tells the spark plugs ...

Böblingen, Germany – Avago Technologies, the world's largest privately held semiconductor company, today announced its first series of small 6-channel optical incremental C-shaped encoder modules for ...

maxon motor's newly designed 70 Watts flat brushless motor delivers a max. continuous torque of 130 mNm at an efficiency of up to 85%. The new motor in its 45 mm diameter is available with Hall ...

Measuring just 0.35" in height, the RCML15 encoder combines both brushless motor commutation and incremental position feedback in its design. The optical encoder features a patented side gap mechanism ...

Designed for applications where space is critical, the RCML15 compact optical encoder combines brushless motor commutation pulses and incremental position feedback in a low-profile (0.350" high) unit.

For something basic like a brushed DC motor, speed control can be quite simple, and powering up the motor is a simple matter of just applying voltage. Brushless motors are much more demanding in their ...
