GUIDE: Common problems with encoders and troubleshooting tips
Encoders are integral components in many motion control systems, providing critical feedback to motors for position, speed, and direction control. However, like any mechanical or electrical device, encoders can sometimes encounter problems that disrupt system performance. Identifying and resolving these issues quickly is essential to maintaining the reliability and efficiency of your system.
In this article, we’ll explore some of the most common problems with encoders and offer troubleshooting tips to help you diagnose and fix them. Read more
Choosing the Right Encoder for Motors: Key Considerations
When selecting an encoder for a motor system, several factors across electrical, mechanical, and software aspects need to be carefully evaluated. Encoders play a vital role in measuring the position, speed, and direction of the motor shaft, providing essential feedback for motor controllers in a variety of applications. A poorly chosen encoder can lead to poor system performance, increased wear and tear, or even system failure. This article provides a comprehensive guide to understanding the key factors to consider when selecting an encoder for motors. Read more
Event at KTH – an international leading technical university
We are excited to participate in Potential, an event hosted annually by the Royal Electrical Section at KTH in Stockholm. On Friday, January 17th, it’s happening – we look forward to discussing challenges, sharing insights, tips, knowledge, and above all, the opportunity to meet and support the future engineers who will be in attendance.
Success in Nordic Lift Expo´ trade show
A heartfelt thank you to everyone who visited us and contributed to making our participation at Nordic Lift Expo this week such a resounding success!
A special thanks to CEDES and David Wallen at CEDES for participating with us and sharing insights and expertise that brings a new level of safety and efficiency to elevator operations. We’re thrilled to have had the chance to showcase some of the future predictive maintenance for elevators.
Events like these are a wonderful opportunity to connect, share ideas, and explore the future of electronics together. We’re already looking forward to the next occasion to meet and exchange ideas.
Compotech and CEDES welcome you to Nordic Lift Expo!
The Nordic Lift Expo is taking place only today 12 November at Infra City in Upplands Väsby. We – Compotech Provider AB and CEDES will show exciting news and this fair in particular is an excellent opportunity to acquire new knowledge, exchange experiences and mingle with industry colleagues in the elevator industry.
We will for example showcase the future of predictive maintenance for elevators brings a new level of safety and efficiency to elevator operations.
Welcome – meet us at 3:11 in Infra City!
Drive system & components for smart farming
Do you want your company to grow better & smarter with drive systems for agricultural robotics?
Do you have thoughts about drive system & components for smart farming? Perhaps you have challenges regarding the specific requirements regarding speed, power, precision, positioning or ingress protection?
Drive systems can be done in many different ways, with different advantages and disadvantages, depending on requirements. Drive systems specifically for agricultural robotics will for example probably meet a humid environment and can be a challenge in itself.
When involving us in your project, you advantage a partner of more than 30 year’s experience in drive system – and that will probably make all the difference in your project. Want to know more? We´re keen to be involved in your motion challenges regarding the specific requirements for your application!
Do complete linear units fit in your application?
Congratulations, you can then significantly simplify the design work. With stepper motor-driven complete linear units & guides, the support already done, you just need to mount your load. Read more
Enjoy your summer!
Here at Compotech, time for vacation is coming up. Some colleagues have already started theirs, while others are next in line. However, our offices will be staffed throughout the summer, so don’t hesitate to reach out if you need assistance. During the summer, we are open from 08:15 to 16:30 Monday to Thursday. On Fridays in July, we are open from 08:15 to 12:00, and in June & August from 08:15 to 15:00.
We wish all our customers, suppliers, our staff, followers, and stakeholders a joyful summer!
