Rotary and linear optical encoders are common in position and motion sensing. Here, a disc or plate containing opaque and transparent segments passes between an LED and detector to interrupt a light ...

Now offered in standard inch shaft and coupling sizes, the T-Line 40-mm series of incremental rotary encoders are compact, 40-mm diameter (1.57 in.) encoders that come standard with an integral ...

This Design Idea combines a simple ISA-bus-resident interface circuit; a garden-variety PC; a high-resolution optical shaft encoder; and a PWM-controlled, 0.05-hp, brushed, permanent-magnet dc motor ...

We always think it is interesting that a regular DC motor and a generator are about the same thing. Sure, each is optimized for its purpose, but inefficiencies aside, you can use electricity to rotate ...

Interfacing a shaft to a 3D printed gear doesn’t have to be tricky. [Tlalexander] demonstrated a solution that uses one half of a spider coupling (or jaw coupling) to create an effective modular ...

Model No. MMP-D22-376H-24V GP52-195 BR-005 gearmotor accepts any 24 Vdc source and measures 2.25” in diameter and 9” long With an integral brake and encoder shaft, the Model No. MMP-D22-376H-24V ...
