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 ...

Rotary encoders connect to a shaft and, as the shaft rotates, the encoder outputs pulses. These are used to determine the speed of the object. By counting the amount of pulses per one full turn of the ...

Precise position control is the forte of the HS35 12-bit absolute hollow encoder. This version of the encoder incorporates many of the same features as the company's popular HS35 incremental design, ...

SCHAUMBURG, IL--(Marketwired - December 10, 2014) - Leine & Linde's ISA and IHA 600 series of solid shaft and hollow-shaft absolute rotary encoders are well known to have been optimized for process ...

TURCK announces that the Kübler by TURCK 2430 shaft and 2440 hollow shaft miniature encoders are now available in absolute versions. The encoders boast a 24 mm diameter housing that makes them ideal ...

AutomationDirect has expanded its Koyo encoder product line to include additional incremental encoder output options and higher resolutions for absolute encoders. The TRD-S series of 6mm solid shaft ...

The DSM936 absolute encoders can handle a variety of severe electrical and physical environments. They convert any shaft input to binary coded decimal (BCD) or binary information corresponding ...

Fabless chip maker CambridgeIC has improved the accuracy and speed of its non-contact position sensing technology. Implemented in the firm’s CAM502 chip, it uses resonant inductive sensors to deliver ...

If you have a motor and you’d like to know where the shaft position is, you are likely to turn to an optical encoder scheme. However, as [lingib] points out, you can also use a magnet and a ...

Oriental Motor of Japan is offering stepper motors with battery-free multi-turn absolute position encoding that can ride through power-loss. Oriental Motor of Japan is offering stepper motors with ...
