force feedback actuator

Other Parts Discussed in Thread: DRV2511-Q1, DRV2510-Q1

I am doing a project on embedded driver electronics for force feedback actuators. For this i need to select motor driver. How to select best motor driver?

  • Hi Bhanu,

    Welcome to e2e.
    Can you share more details about the actuator you wan to drive?
    If this is haptic application, you can take a look at our haptic drivers: www.ti.com/.../products.html

  • hallo,

    For the use within operator systems in commercial offroad vehicles like tractors, combine harvesters,
    forklifts etc. Now I am working on the development of actuators and input devices with force feedback technology. 

    The availability of this technology would allow for a new user experience while driving an industrial
    vehicle or while manipulating vehicle components, tools, attachments and implements.

    I am using BLDC motor

    Best Regards,

    BHANU

  • Bhanu,

    You can consider the devices suggested before. Most of them are purposed to drive ERM and LRA actuators.
    DRV2511-Q1 and DRV2510-Q1 are able to drive high output current for solenoid actuator applications.
    If you don't need an actuator driver but a motor driver, there are several options on the motor driver portfolio: www.ti.com/.../overview.html
    It would be good to have the actuator/motor spec, or the output drive requirements. That could help narrowing the device selection.
