Unique Piezoelectric Motor and Driver Solutions
On januari 20, 2025 in All, General, Motor Control by Bill Schweber
Bill Schweber
Piezoelectric motors use unique physics for precise, high-speed motion. They require high-voltage drivers tailored for capacitive loads, unlike current-driven electromagnetic motors. Their non-metallic nature and direct drive design offer distinct advantages ideal for many applications.

Harnessing Energy with Nanogenerators
On december 13, 2018 in All, Energy Harvesting, IoT, Power, Sensors by Liam Critchley
Liam Critchley
Different nanogenerators can generate enough electricity to power a small device through kinetic movements within the device, or by harvesting thermal energy. Even though the amount of electricity generated is small, it is enough for many small remote monitoring devices.
