How do I control speed and keep it constant? A sophisticated control system would be required to keep the speed regulated to a tight tolerance. Utilizing an encoder feedback, the customer’s control can monitor and adjust the 0-5VDC input can What is the difference between a closed loop stepper motor controller and an open loop stepper motor controller? In an open loop stepper motor controller, there is no feedback going from the motor to the controller, so the controller cannot make any necessary adjustments. This type of controller is effective wh What are the advantages of using a brushless motor versus a brush style motor? No brush noise, efficient, durable, robust, easy to cool Linear current/torque Synchronous speed control Position and Speed Servo (open/closed loop) Customizable Performance Extended Life
