If you have a motor and you’d like to know where the shaft position is, you are likely to turn to an optical encoder scheme. However, as [lingib] points out, you can also use a magnet and a ...

Encoders are the most widely used feedback devices for electric motor control, capable of delivering precise position and speed feedback for closed-loop performance. With numerous technology options ...

As per its creator, the AEAT-6600-T16 debuts as the industry’s highest-resolution Hall-Effect magnetic encoder. The component targets industrial applications, particularly those in harsh environments.

AKM’s AK8778 Onechip Encoder is a Hall effect latch which detects both vertical magnetic field and horizontal magnetic field (perpendicular and parallel to the marking side of the package) at the same ...

The electric motor is the fundamental building block of almost all robotic projects but, without some form of feedback, it lacks the precise positional control required for the task. Small servos from ...

MALVERN, Pa., Aug. 09, 2017 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Vishay Intertechnology, Inc. (NYSE:VSH) today introduced a new magnetic position sensor that delivers accuracy comparable to Hall effect devices while ...

A standard reflective encoder module contains two digital output channels for direction sensing, but needs another module for indexing. Similarly, motion A standard reflective encoder module contains ...
