When it comes to rotary encoders, there are plenty of options. Most of them involve putting a credit card number into an online vendor’s website, though, and that’s sometimes just not in the cards. In ...

This article discusses a magnetic encoder intended for electrical motor driving employing ATS605LSG. It includes the advantages of magnetic encoder, guidelines for motor driving, general applications ...

Stating performance advantages over traditional optical encoders and potentiometers, the ED Series magnetic encoders forecast more robust sensor-system designs at lower total costs. The components ...

Encoders are widely used in the motion control and automation industry to monitor the position and speed of motors. This information can be used by the motion control electronics to detect if the ...

It is a system-on-chip, combining integrated Hall elements, analog front end and digital signal processing in a single device. To measure the angle, only a simple two-pole magnet, rotating over the ...

The Kubler 3650 and 3670 encoder Series give a resolution of 9 bits with SSI, 4-to-20 mA, or 0-to-10-Vdc output. The encoders have an IP69K protection rating and temperature range of –40 to 85˚C so ...

Numerik Jena now offers a line of encoders that are non-magnetic. These linear and rotary encoders have been tested in environments up to 6 Tesla and have no influence on the machine environment.

In robotics, movements must be precise and well-controlled. As robots are asked to do more as industry becomes more familiar with the technology, there will be an increasing need for high accuracy ...

Last year, Automation World examined the differences between accuracy, resolution, and precision in the encoder world. And while understanding the differences among these terms is important to ...
