Stepper or servo cylinder
What is cylinder? Let's check out what's the definition of Cylinder Wikipedia has given. "A cylinder is the central working part of a reciprocating engine or pump, the space in which a piston travels. Multiple cylinders are commonly arranged side by side in a bank, or engine block, which is typically cast from aluminum or cast iron before receiving precision machine work. Cylinders may be sleeved ...
Bipolar or unipolar stepper motor
Two phase stepper motor There are two basic winding arrangements for the electromagnetic coils in a two phase stepper motor, one being bipolar and the other unipolar. A unipolar stepper motor has one winding with center tap per phase. Each section of windings is switched on for each direction of magnetic field. Since in this arrangement a magnetic pole can be reversed without switching the directi...

Be careful that the positive and negative poles can’t be reversed when wiring, otherwise the driver will be burnt. This Yellow one is direction switch, and this green one is enable switch, press it and motor go offline....
Linear rail comparison of HIWIN vs RobotDigg 440C SUS vs GCr15 hardened steel
Hi Guys, today we want to show you the difference between linear rails from different sources. Here you can see there are three same type linear rails which are HIWIN origin, RobotDigg 440C stainless steel and GCr15 or hardened steel China mainland copy. All the rails and carriages was put in the air indoor condition in Shanghai, yearly average humidity is over 50% without any maintenance for over...
How to Maintain a Reflow Oven?
Reflow Oven Maintenance Proper reflow oven maintenance can extend its life cycle, keep the machine in good condition, and improve production efficiency and product quality. One of the most important tasks for properly maintaining a reflow oven is remove the built-up flux residue inside the oven's chamber. Although there is a flux collection system in modern reflow machines, there still is a big pr...
Stepper motorized syringe pump
Syringe pump How to control syringe pump using stepper motor? Arduino, easy driver and stepper motor, joystick and limit switch? Stepper moves CW and CCW When hits limit switch 1 turns direction and again when hits limit switch 2 turns to other side When limit switches are pushed in the same time to control the relay to use the valves Speed control, so it will be able to basically control volume p...
MPG Pendant, Mach3 or Mach4
MPG Pendant What is MPG Pendant? MPG Pendant stands for Manual Pulse Generator Pendant or Handwheel(Chinese translation?) A manual pulse generator (MPG) is a device for generating electrical pulses (short bursts of low current) in electronic systems under the control of a human operator (manually), as opposed to the pulses automatically generated by software. MPGs are used on computer numerically ...
