Belt Drive Actuator Solutions from Myostat The M Series belt actuators are a new line of modular actuators in 4 different frame sizes. The series' components include ready made solutions for inline and right angle motor mounting, coupling multiple actuators to one drive motor, or mounting the actuators together to make multiple axis gantries. Unlike Z-Theta systems designed for semiconductor handling, the MX-40 is designed for lifting and rotating larger items, with gearing options to handle higher inertia offset loads. The MX-40 is based on the M40 belt drive actuator providing a T-Slot aluminum body for easy mounting. |

Position Feedback Components While most motion control systems can work with either resolvers or encoders to monitor shaft position, they are not interchangeable. Many engineers are unfamiliar with resolver electronics and opt for an optical encoder as a default. In this article, originally written for Design Engineering Magazine, Mark McCann discusses the basic operation and technological updates of both position feedback components. |
