Blower airflow separation: where are bypass blowers (and their separate airflow paths) useful?
Bypass blowers are electric-motor-driven blowers that segregate two paths of air: • the path of air for performing the application’s blowing or vacuum function and • the path of air to cool the blower’s motor during operation. Download the Ametek white paper to learn more. … [Read more...]
What are dual-motion hybrid actuators and where do they excel?
Some motion applications need axes to deliver both linear and rotary motion. Conventional designs for such functionality are often complicated and bulky. What’s more, rotary motors put to linear motion often have output shafts that are inadequate for supporting heavy side loads. Download the … [Read more...]
Satisfy application needs with versatile brushed dc and brushless dc motors
Brushed dc and brushless dc motors must be compatible with and satisfy critical motion-system parameters. These include the application voltage supply, overall footprint, target design life, continuous speed, and continuous torque requirements. Download the Ametek white paper... … [Read more...]
Noise and vibration in leadscrew-driven motion designs and how to avoid them
Leadscrews — especially those with high-accuracy threads — can be a low-vibration alternative to other linear-motion options. That’s in part because of the consistent contact between their load-bearing mating subcomponents. Download the white paper from Ametek … [Read more...]
Stepper Motor Drives Some Factors That Will Help Determine Proper Selection
This white paper will discuss methods of selecting the best Stepper Drive for motion control applications requiring a Stepper Motor or a Stepper-Based Linear Actuator; information about the typical types of Drives; effects of different applied voltage levels; and of various Drive settings / options … [Read more...]
Incremental Encoder Signals
Incremental encoders are used on motors and equipment as feedback devices to determine position and direction of machinery. Motor controllers can also use position information from the encoder to commutate the motor and calculate velocity for speed control. The incremental encoder is a critical … [Read more...]
Lead Screws 101 – A Basic Guide to Implementing a Lead Screw Assembly for Any Design
In many devices lead screw assemblies are used to convert motion from rotary to linear and vice versa. Historically these assemblies have had poor efficiencies and relied on grease for improved performance. Over the past few decades the advent of engineered polymers and new manufacturing … [Read more...]
Reimagining Reflective Encoders
Traditionally, reflective encoders have been considered a lower end option used when cost was more important than options. Whether needing high CPR, an index channel or compact sizes, it's time to reevaluate reflective technology. New encoders are still economical but now offer improved performance … [Read more...]
