New Motion Control Techniques for Servo and Step Motors
- White Paper
This paper explores the benefits and limitations of the stepper servo control technique, also called closed loop stepper, and explains why it is attracting serious attention from machine designers.
Direct Drive Linear Motors: Overview and Selection Process
- White Paper
To help make the process of selecting linear motors simpler, we’ll start by explaining the mechanics of a direct drive linear motor and contrast it with a more traditional indirect drive system.
What Design Engineers Need to Know About Voice Coil Actuator Technology

Originally developed for audio speakers, voice coil actuation technology is now being used to provide precise and reliable motion control for a wide range of medical, industrial process and space applications.
Monitoring Mechanical Behavior of Reciprocating Compressors
- White Paper
By Istec
In this whitepaper we focus on the mechanical health and behaviour of reciprocating compressors with four important indicators; impact, temperature (valves and bearings), vibration and rod drop. Table 1 shows the typical measurements for reciprocating compressors.
