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 ...

POSITAL announced the addition of a series of stand-alone digital display units to its catalog of accessories. The new units are designed to connect directly to POSITAL's IXARC rotary encoders, TILTIX ...

Similar in size and shape to the common panel-mounted potentiometer, the incremental rotary encoder provides an inexpensive ‘digital’ alternative to the analog potentiometer. It is typically used to ...

[hw640] has put together a well written and detail packed explanation of how to interface with a digital rotary switch. These digital opto encoders have just two outputs with four possible logic ...

Exl 1100 Series rotary encoders now come in versions whose mating dimensions are the same as those of common resolvers The Exl 1100 Series rotary encoders now come in versions whose mating dimensions ...

Industries have different uses and requirements for controls and positioning. Encoders are critical to the production of advanced electronics, one of the fastest growing and advancing industries in ...

Hirschmann's new gSENS DWG 20 rotary encoder uses optical sensors to break down one revolution of a shaft, of a hoist or slew drive unit, for example, into 8192 increments. The device then converts ...

POSITAL has upgraded the performance of the PROFINET communications interface for their IXARC series of absolute encoders. The speed of the interface has been increased, reducing cycle time by a ...

The AS5046, a 12-bit magnetic rotary encoder, offers rotation, tilt, and vertical distance detection of a magnet moving above it. The device can detect vertical distances over several millimeters, ...

SCHAUMBURG, IL--(Marketwired - March 11, 2014) - HEIDENHAIN unveils a new line of rotary encoders for Potentially Explosive Atmospheres (ATEX). Many industries -- such as oil and gas, printing, and ...

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 ...
