What is a Closed-loop System?

Closed-loop systems can control speed, position, torque, etc. — Control loops can control speed, position, torque, temperature, etc.

A closed-loop system will make automatic adjustments without external adjustment. The system uses a setpoint as part of the initial setup.

Sound difficult? It’s not. Let’s break that down.

Knowing how to calculate motor RPM can be invaluable when choosing a motor for your industrial application. Along with torque, voltage, and power, this measurement will help you understand how to find the correct motor for your needs.

Machinery Manufacturing Outlook: Now and Next Year

Let’s talk about machinery manufacturing.

Machines have come a long way from their humble beginnings. While elementary-school science teachers still struggle to convince students that screws, levers, and wedges truly are machines, the machines we know today have moved far beyond these simple principles.

In fact, machinery of some kind is used in almost every modern workplace. Because of their vast reach, machinery manufacturing–which includes everything from engines and turbines to agricultural machines and HVAC equipment–has a significant impact on economic sectors like construction, agriculture, transportation, and power production.
