2025 marks the 15th year that Design World has published a Motion Systems Handbook special issue. The first one was way back in 2011. In that first handbook, the focus was on the basics of individual ...

Hydraulics remains a reliable backbone for industrial power transmission, now being combined with electronics for enhanced control and efficiency. Advancements in electronics enable real-time feedback ...

Whether designers are improving a motion-centric machine or building a new one, it is essential they begin with motion control in mind. Then they can develop the design around the best way to get ...

For applications combining traditional automation, multi-axis coordinated motion control, and a need for data handling, a motion-optimized PLC platform provides an elegant and streamlined solution.

AI can be added to legacy motion control systems in three phases with minimal disruption: data collection via edge gateways, non-interfering anomaly detection and supervisory control integration.

As the world embraces electric vehicle technology, the technology itself continues to improve across nearly every aspect. The advancement that promises to be the most transformative—particularly in ...
