A new generation of magnetic rotary encoders from POSITAL-FRABA combine the ruggedness and simplicity of magnetic measurement devices with the accuracy and dynamic response of optical encoders. Motion ...

Developed specifically for mechanical drive and lift-engineering applications, the RHI90N series incremental rotary encoders provide high accuracy with pulse counts up to 2,500 ppr at 10- to 30-Vdc ...

Understanding the fundamentals is key to a tailor-made solution. This is the first of a two-part series. Part 2 can be found here. Encoders play an integral role in almost every mechanical system that ...

“I looked at all the available rotary encoder sketches and none of them met my needs, so I have written my own, and here it is”. Well, I looked at all the available rotary encoder sketches and none of ...

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 you may have noticed, I’ve been working with an STM32 ARM CPU using Mbed. There was a time when Mbed was pretty simple, but a lot has changed since it has morphed into Mbed OS. Unfortunately, that ...

Anyone searching for a way to connect multiple rotary encoders on the I2C bus, may be interested in a new piece of hardware created by Simone based in Turin, Italy. The aptly named I2C Encoder V2 ...

SCHAUMBURG, IL--(Marketwired - December 01, 2015) - HEIDENHAIN Corporation is pleased to announce the first and only angle encoders on the market to have a Fault Exclusion for Loosening of the ...

I want to write about something a little different this time. I removed the mechanical scroll wheel rotary encoder from a discarded optical mouse and used it in a little project. I really liked the ...

What a lovely idea for a human-machine interface component – a dumb mechanical rotary encoder knob that simply glues to the front glass of a touch display. All the smarts are in the touch controller.
