  2. Rotary encoder - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rotary_encoder

    An absolute encoder maintains position information when power is removed from the encoder. [5] The position of the encoder is available immediately on applying power. The relationship between the encoder value and the physical position of the controlled machinery is set at assembly; the system does not need to return to a calibration point to maintain position accuracy.

  3. Rotary actuator - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rotary_actuator

    A servomotor is a packaged of several components: a motor (usually electric, although fluid power motors may also be used), a gear train to reduce the many rotations of the motor to a higher torque rotation, a position encoder that identifies the position of the output shaft and an inbuilt control system. The input control signal to the servo ...

  4. Open-loop controller - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Open-loop_controller

    If the motor was always assumed to perform each movement correctly, without positional feedback, it would be open-loop control. However, if there is a position encoder, or sensors to indicate the start or finish positions, then that is closed-loop control, such as in many inkjet printers. The drawback of open-loop control of steppers is that if ...

  5. Incremental encoder - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Incremental_encoder

    An incremental encoder does not keep track of, nor do its outputs indicate the current encoder position; it only reports incremental changes in position. [3] Consequently, to determine the encoder's position at any particular moment, it is necessary to provide external electronics which will "track" the position.

    The grey/green cylinder is the brush-type DC motor. The black section at the bottom contains the planetary reduction gear, and the black object on top of the motor is the optical rotary encoder for position feedback.

  7. Actuator - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Actuator

    Linear motors are divided in 3 basic categories: flat linear motor (classic), U-Channel linear motors and Tubular linear motors. Linear motor technology is the best solution in the context of a low load (up to 30Kgs) because it provides the highest level of speed, control and accuracy. In fact, it represents the most desired and versatile ...
