In 2012, Automation World published an article looking at the decision factors faced when choosing electric or pneumatic actuators. More than a decade later, manufacturing engineers and OEMs still ...

Hydraulic applications rely upon fluid power or pressurized fluids to generate, control, and transmit power. These systems are capable of producing high power and high forces in small volumes and have ...

I just finished testing a module capable of measuring a range of pressures! The experiment is centered around a small and inexpensive pressure sensor module available with the description “HX710B ...

Only through proper troubleshooting and then solving the underlying problems can control loop performance be improved. Process design certainly plays a role in control loop performance, but experience ...

Open-loop current sensors have a definite price advantage over closed-loop counterparts. While you can use them in drive applications where torque accuracy isn't demanding — such as pump and fan ...
