BEDFORD, Mass. — Celera Motion, a business unit of Novanta Inc., announced new sizes and capabilities for its Aura TM Absolute Chip Encoder Series of rotary and linear optical encoders with MicroE ...

Designed for demanding industry and research applications of scanning, measuring, imaging, and alignment. Ultra-precise linear motor stage, with 1µm straightness/flatness and 1nm absolute encoder, ...

Used as an alternative to optical encoders, the AS5311 Hall-effect-sensor-based linear magnetic encoder is presented as the first to offer submicron resolution. For linear motion sensing, a multipole ...

To attain accurate positioning, a servo system requires a feedback signal to close its feedback loop. Instruments that typically supply the feedback signal include optical encoders, resolvers, and ...

Measuring 63.5 (H) x 88.9 (W) x 266.7 (L) mm, the Dover MAB-100 linear motor stage uses an air-bearing guideway to deliver friction-free straight-line motion up to 100 mm in length. The device ...

This is the first of a two-part series. Part 2 can be found here. Encoders play an integral role in almost every mechanical system that involves motion monitoring or control. There are a variety of ...

Purdue University alumnus Sergey Zakharov, co-founder and chief technology officer of ZS Instruments, holds an optical encoder wafer created by a prototype of the company’s novel technology. ZS ...
