Same Sky has created an absolute encoder family for motor shafts from 9 to 15.875mm (5/8inch). Called AMT25 and said to be accurate to ±0.2°, the family relies on the same in-house capacitive ASIC for ...

For any designs that deal with large motors, isolation is a desired characteristic for both control and sense loops. Turn on, turn off, changes in load, changes in power, and unexpected events can ...

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 ...

Encoder specialist POSITAL has expanded its line of kit-style encoders for feedback for servo and stepper motors with new models that utilize the same mounting form factor as incremental kit encoders ...

Position encoders are sensors that, when used in industrial settings, produce critical motor information such as speed and position. The encoder delivers data for display or data that may serve as ...

A quadrature encoder uses two output channels offset in phase to detect both direction and position with greater precision.

An interesting trend in industrial motion control has been the replacement of self-contained encoders (rotation sensors with their own housing, bearings and shaft) with modular or “kit” encoders.

Oriental Motor of Japan is offering stepper motors with battery-free multi-turn absolute position encoding that can ride through power-loss. Oriental Motor of Japan is offering stepper motors with ...

HEIDENHAIN is proud to announce the addition of its new slim-design ECI 1118 rotary encoder to its expansive product line. With a thickness of only 10mm and a diameter just less than 37mm, the new ...
