CAN Controlled Servo with Optional Contactless Magnetic Rotary Encoder Module

In this project a servo (position) controller that is able to receive commands via a Controller Area Network (CAN) is presented. Additionally, the board was developed to be as generally usable as possible in the sense that if the DC motor to be controlled does not have a rotary encoder, then a contactless magnetic rotary encoder (CMRE) module can be plugged into the board (via two SIL connector...

Influence of crank length and crank-axle height on standing arm-crank (grinding) power.

OBJECTIVE To determine the optimal crank length and crank-axle height for maximum power production during standing arm cranking ("grinding"). METHODS Nine elite professional America's Cup grinders (age = 36 +/- 2 yr, body mass = 104 +/- 1 kg, body fat = 13% +/- 2%) performed eight maximal 6-s sprints on an adjustable standing arm-crank ergometer fitted with an SRM power crank. The protocol in...

Rocker Arm: - a Review

Over the years rocker arms have been optimized in its design and material for better performance. Durability, toughness, high dimension stability, wear resistance, strength and cost of materials as well as economic factors are the reasons for optimization of rocker arm. This paper reviews the various types of rocker arms, based on published sources from the last 40 years in order to understand ...
