Welcome to Oriental Motor's "Engineering Notes" Blog:

In industrial automation, cooling fans are used to cool electronics so that equipment can last longer.  However, knowing which type of fan to apply to your machine design can be tricky.  In this article, I explain how fans affect the life of electronics and compare the characteristics of the 3 most common types of cooling fans.

CVD Series stepper drivers are the best choice for PKP Series high-torque stepper motors due to their unique abilities to reduce different types of motor vibrations and optimize performance.

A network-compatible multi-axis driver can save space and reduce costs by combining multiple stepper motor drive circuits in a single product and minimizing the number of wires necessary to control motion in automated chip inspection equipment.

In the factories of the future, wireless motion control will offer unprecedented flexibility for mobile machines and space-constrained applications. This comprehensive guide walks engineers through implementing wireless motion control using Oriental Motor's AZ Series Ethernet Type mini Driver, eliminating cables while maintaining precise motion control.

AC induction motors are the workhorses that power many types of conveyors to transport materials.  However, there's a smaller but mightier type of motor that can help enhance the design and performance of conveyors for many industries.

For speed synchronization applications like a dual belt labeling conveyor, multiple motors must run at the same speed.  What is the best type of motor to use and what are the methods to achieve this?  Our application engineer set up a product demonstration to show you how this can be done with one potentiometer.

Learn how Oriental Motor's compact and easy-to-use small industrial robots, robot controllers, and software can help simplify robotic automation.

This article introduces the key innovations of the powerful AZX Series, which is a uniquely different servo motor and driver system designed to be easier to use and more cost-effective than traditional servo motor systems.

The popularity of micro linear actuators has been steadily increasing, driven by the need to increase productivity in confined spaces.  To help meet the demand of the miniaturization trend, Oriental Motor has developed a compact linear actuator that can be attached to an off-the-shelf stepper motor.
