Why are there so many different angle encoders on the market? Why do they use different scanning and measuring methods? And which one should a designer choose? To answer those questions, engineers at ...

The RESM encoder features a large diameter, low-profile stainless steel ring that mounts directly to the machine shaft, avoiding coupling losses, oscillation, shaft torsion and other hysteresis errors ...

Analog and digital optoelectronic sensors combine an LED and an optoelectronic integrated circuit in a compact package to enable optical encoders to provide absolute or incremental position detection ...

The RIK kit-style optical angle encoder without bearing is aimed at motion feedback applications where space is limited. The scanning unit has a very low height profile of just 6 mm and the graduation ...

Aura P is a high-resolution absolute encoder in a super-compact form-factor. Credit INMOCO The Aura P is presented in a connection-ready PCBA (printed circuit board assembly), enabling fast and easy ...

Building a 3D motor printed motor is one thing, but creating a completely custom servo motor with encoder requires some significant engineering. In the video after the break [365 Robots] takes us ...

Direct drives place rigorous demands on position-signal quality. Optimum measuring signals increase the quality of the machined workpiece surface, reduce vibration in the machine frame, stop excessive ...

In aviation the term fly-by-wire means that the control surfaces of an aircraft are operated by actuators rather than via cables and rods, with electrical signals transmitting information from the ...

Encoders are a vital component in many applications that require motion control and feedback information. Whether a system’s requirement is speed, direction, or distance, an encoder produces control ...

iC-Haus will demonstrate its latest 26bit resolution optical encoder IC at SPS next month in Nuremberg. iC-RT2624, as it will be known, is aimed at both housed and kit encoders, and will achieve its ...

Avago Technologies, a leading supplier of analog interface components for communications, industrial and consumer applications, today announced a high-resolution absolute optical encoder for ...
