Closed-loop motion systems can only run as fast as their sensors let them. And there are many factors that go into sensor speed. We asked the experts to explain what makes sensors fast, and slow, and how sensors can help or hurt motion system response. Here are the answers that will speed you on your way to a faster, more productive machine.

How do you define speed in a motion system?

High speed: in today's world, faster equals better. With the need for speed increasing, the editors of Motion System Design asked industry experts for application tips and guidelines when designing a high-speed motion system.(Design by Objective)(Discussion)
Motion System Design ; Define high speed. What is considered leading edge today? Anthony/Timken: High speed, referred to as dN, is calculated by multiplying the bearing bore diameter in millimeters by the shaft rpm. If the solution to this equation is greater than 1 million, it is often considered highspeed. George/NSK:
