End—to—end sensor solutions to optimize production processes
Precise and reproducible switching operations are a must, even in apparently simple tasks like level detection. In storage tanks, conventional capacitive level switches. Process optimization is … [Read more...] about End—to—end sensor solutions to optimize production processes
Stepper Motors and the Effect of Acceleration and Deceleration Ramps
This white paper explains stand test methodology for generating force versus velocity curves and the benefits of adding acceleration and deceleration ramps. One of the first parameters that is … [Read more...] about Stepper Motors and the Effect of Acceleration and Deceleration Ramps
Comparing Slotted vs. Slotless Brushless DC Motors
Slotless brushless DC motors represent a unique and compelling subset of motors within the larger category of brushless DC motors. They are called “slotless” be-cause typical slotted brushless DC … [Read more...] about Comparing Slotted vs. Slotless Brushless DC Motors
IP65 rating and what it means for your application
Just like the mysteries surrounding Stonehenge, crop circles, who shot JFK, and what a self-respecting individual would actually do for a Klondike bar, some motion-control considerations cause … [Read more...] about IP65 rating and what it means for your application
Investigate Degradation of Die-Attach Material in IGBTs Using Power Cycling Tests
The whitepaper features test and supporting thermal simulation methodology alongside example results from IGBTs tested over 1000’s operational cycles to point of failure. Results and analysis are … [Read more...] about Investigate Degradation of Die-Attach Material in IGBTs Using Power Cycling Tests
12 Key Considerations in Enclosure Thermal Design… A High-Level ‘How To’ Guide
A natural focus when designing an electronics product is, well the electronics. The electronics itself however, needs to work within some kind of enclosure, be it a standardized rack system, or a … [Read more...] about 12 Key Considerations in Enclosure Thermal Design… A High-Level ‘How To’ Guide
10 Tips for Predicting Component Temperatures… A High-Level ‘How To’ Guide
