Hello,
Im just trying to understand this hall effect sensors.
Ive been looking into the maxon motors and realise that some double shafted models have hall effect sensors inside the motor.
Q1) What are the hall sensors used for? Why are they used in specialty motors.
Q2) How do the Hall Sensor relate to position and velocity control?
Q3) If a Double Shafted motor or a single shafted motor could be connected to a joint, which would provide more torque?
I believe it would be the double shafted. Not sure though.
Q4) How does Hall Effect Sensors differ from Magnetic Encoders??
Q5) What if I were to add two gearheads to either end of the shaft, if the hall sensors could measure rpm and somehow work out the position, then
maybe that could be possible but would not get the high resolution that can be provided by a magnetic encoder.
Thanks,
Ben
