What is Cogging and Torque Ripple? >
Cogging and torque ripple are unavoidable artifacts of motion system design. Learn how these factors affect you EO/IR System.
How to Properly size your torque motor for EO/IR applications >
Simple peak and continuous torque requirements are not enough for motor sizing. Learn what other considerations affect EO/IR motion platforms.
Form factor optimization (D²L Rule) >
The length and diameter of your motor have dramatic effects on stabilized platform performance. Learn how to apply this rule to size the most compact motor.
Motor Topology options for EO/IR Applications >
Go big or go long? Motor choice is about balancing the need for torque, form factor, and performance. Beyond length and diameter, learn how other motor topologies optimize your EO/IR platform.
What is a Servo Motor? >
When researching motor options for an application, one type that often comes up is “servo” motor. Many manufacturers expand and add descriptions like AC and brushless. What do these terms mean and what exactly is a servo motor?
Step Into Motion: The 411 on Stepper Technology >
No need to call information to learn about step motion. Each axis of motion has different requirements, and while some need full servo control, many can be economically solved with stepper motors. Wondering when to use one technology versus the…
