Actuators are essential components of closed-loop control systems, as they convert the control signals into physical actions that affect the system output. However, actuator performance can be ...

Learn what a closed-loop control system is, how it works, and how to use PID control and tuning for optimal performance and stability in electrical engineering.

A new control method for the drives employing linear permanent magnet synchronous motor with prescribed closed-loop dynamics is presented. This control method offers an accurate realisation of dynamic ...

This paper presents a sensor/actuator system for high-temperature applications with the complete measurement electronics and sensors integrated into the actuator. The data transmission is implemented ...

It uses feedback, typically derived from a sensor, to compare the actual output with the controller’s programmed setpoint. The HVAC thermostat in your home is an example of closed-loop control system.

May 2015, Auburn, MA -- Precision motion control systems leader PI (Physik Instrumente) L.P. recently released a new series of actuators based on PIMag™ non-contacting voice-coil linear motor ...
