Motion-control or industrial automation system designers who need to measure the rotation of shafts or other mechanical components can typically choose from two types of rotary encoders. Encoders ...

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 ...

Utilizing an advanced technology, the Sine/Cosine Rotary Electric Encoder promises a non-contacting, full-rotation absolute output with no index pulse, no quadrature issues, and no need for homing at ...

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 ...

The AS5050 10-bit magnetic rotary encoder integrates automatic power-down and wake-up modes. On a single chip, it hosts four Hall elements, a 10-bit angle encoder, smart-power-management controller, ...

19" sub-racks, desktop and tower enclosures, front panels and matching accessories offer the ideal solution for packaging your technology. Reliability and ruggedness are just two of Elma's core ...

While standard optical encoders have traditionally been used to meet the needs of high-precision sensing and control applications (such as steering-wheel position detection or industrial motion ...

A 10bit magnetic rotary encoder ic for contactless position sensing is said to combine the industry's lowest power and smallest size. austriamicrosystems' AS5050 encoder features automatic power down ...

The keyboard and mouse are great, we’re big fans. But for some tasks, such as seeking around in audio and video files, a rotary encoder is a more intuitive way to get the job done. [VincentMakes] ...
