Motion-control or industrial automation system designers who need to measure the rotation of shafts or other mechanical components can typically choose from two types of rotary encoders. Encoders ...

Unterpremstaetten, Austria — Austriamicrosystems AG rolled out a 12-bit resolution magnetic rotary encoder IC that addresses demand for high-resolution, low-speed applications. The IC, which provides ...

Rotational magnetic encoders have been developed that convert mechanical rotary motion into a digital pulse stream. The encoders use newly available solid-state magnetic rotary encoding technology, ...

When it comes to rotary encoders, there are plenty of options. Most of them involve putting a credit card number into an online vendor’s website, though, and that’s sometimes just not in the cards. In ...

The AS5046, a 12-bit magnetic rotary encoder, offers rotation, tilt, and vertical distance detection of a magnet moving above it. The device can detect vertical distances over several millimeters, ...

Encoders are widely used in the motion control and automation industry to monitor the position and speed of motors. This information can be used by the motion control electronics to detect if the ...

When it comes to rotary encoders, there are plenty of options. Most of them involve putting a credit card number into an online vendor’s website, though, and that’s sometimes just not in the cards. In ...

SICK has expanded its proven, non-contact magnetostrictive linear encoder portfolio with the launch of a versatile product family for wide-ranging industrial applications. The DAX® linear encoders ...

Operating on non-contact magnetic sensing with up to 4096 ppr, the encoders are wear free and provide virtually unlimited service life. The fully encapsulated magnetic sensor with IP 66 and IP 67 as ...

iC-Haus has announced its new battery-buffered 40-bit multiturn hall encoder gearless multiturn solution for applications of up to 12,000 rpm. The low current consumption of 10 µA allows a ...

In robotics, movements must be precise and well-controlled. As robots are asked to do more as industry becomes more familiar with the technology, there will be an increasing need for high accuracy ...
