Pee Ell Sea Posts: 672 Rating: (57)	Hi, Variable speed ac and brushless dc need to know where the rotor is to be able to control the motor correctly. The axis card can then control the amount of current going to each motor winding to do this. It is similar to a tacho on a dc motor but does a lot more than just close the speed loop. The motor encoder can usually also be used to close the position loop. i.e. provide position feedback. The downside is that it is connected via the motor to a ballscrew and so is subject to errors caused by backlash in the mechanical system. Linear scales because they run directly in parallel with the axis provide a position feedback free of backlash errors. Pee
