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 ...

Melexis is aiming at electric motors with family of angle-sensing absolute magnetic encoder ICs that can work at high speed and typically deliver 1° accuracy or better. “By detecting the three ...

HEIDENHAIN launches a new product family that is a merger of HEIDENHAIN bearing and angle encoder technologies. Resulting in the MRP 2000, 5000 and 8000 (as well as customer-specific variants), these ...

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 ...

Direct-drive systems are firmly entrenched in the semiconductor and electronics-manufacturing industries, and are becoming increasingly common in the machine tool industry. Direct-drive systems offer ...

The AS5048 14-bit magnetic encoder IC has been developed by austriamicrosystems to achieve accurate angle measurements in microcontroller-based applications. The AS5048 14-bit magnetic encoder IC has ...

This file type includes high-resolution graphics and schematics when applicable. In the seemingly endless quest for higher motor performance and improved system cost efficiencies, motor manufacturers ...

C&K has launched an optical rotary encoder, the ENC Series 24-Position Optical Encoder with integrated pushbutton. The ENC Series encoder was developed as an improvement on the company's 16 Position ...

Most of the hacks we see around these parts have to do with taking existing components and cobbling them together in interesting new ways. It’s less often that we see existing components gutted and ...
