Must the puttbot carry a servo and receiver for driving range?

A:
A Yes. The puttbot must be designed so that the receiver and at least one servo travel with the cargo. ... more

Since Navitar has three different motor options (2-phase stepper, 5-phase stepper and DC servo with encoder) how do I select the proper system for my application?

A:
It depends on your personal preference and requirements, as well as the following considerations: The 2-phase stepper and the DC servo have a smaller ‘footprint’ than the 5-phase stepper. However, the 5-phase provides the greatest resolution due to t ... more

Which self leveling system is better, servo motor or compensated?

A:
Each system has its pluses and minuses. Servo systems have the appeal of driving the laser to level without the operator turning leveling screws. However, a compensated self leveling laser can be up and running just as fast as a servo system. Servo s ... more

Can NMB brushless motors be run as servo motors?

A:
NMB motor construction will not handle low speed servo motion. Our pole and slot construction is intended for applications like pumps and rotary motion. Applications that require low speed and accurate position should consider using a stepper motor w ... more

Can a servo motor also be used at higher ambient temperatures?

A:
Our servo motors MTR-AC are rated for ambient temperatures up to 40° C, meaning that the power output specifications in the catalogue are achieved up to that point. At higher ambient temperatures less heat can be dissipated. To prevent the motors fro ... more

How hot can a servo motor get?

A:
The motor housing temperature can reach 100°C during operation. The servo motors are also normally protected by a PTC. The PTC output is connected to the servo controller. The servo controller shuts down the motor power supply as soon as the internal ... more

In how many modes can the MTR-AC servo motor be operated?

A:
The SEC-AC motor controller for the MTR-SC servo motor can be operated in 4 modes. ... more

Can Galil controllers control both step motors and servo motors?

A:
Galil controllers can be configured by the user to control stepper and servo motors on any combination of axes. For example, the DMC-1856 five-axis PCI bus controller can control 3 steppers and 2 servos or 4 servos and 1 stepper or any other combinat ... more

Can any one explain about servo motor & stepper motor and its application.?

A:
A Servo is a small device that has an output shaft. This shaft can be positioned to specific angular positions by sending the servo a coded signal. As long as the coded signal exists on the input line, the servo will maintain the angular position of ... more

Why are there two COM ports on the servo drive electronics box?

A:
You can use DigitalSky Voice™ software (included with your mount), in conjunction with Software Bisques TheSky™. You will need two available serial ports on your computer since both programs must obtain positional data from mount continuously. Our co ... more
