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 ...

The MSK1000 encoder uses a lowprofile magnetic band to create programmable resolutions to 0.2 m directly from the sensor. The MSK1000 encoder uses a lowprofile magnetic band to create programmable ...

Unterpremstaetten, Austria — Austriamicrosystems AG rolled out a 12-bit resolution magnetic rotary encoder IC that addresses demand for high-resolution, low-speed applications. The IC, which provides ...

Most of the hacks we see around these parts have to do with taking existing components and cobbling them together in interesting new ways. It’s less often that we see existing components gutted and ...

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 ...

The AEDR 8400 series are the industry’s smallest reflective incremental optical encoders, according to Avago Technologies. The encoders combine this extremely small size—3.00 mm by 3.28 mm by 1.262 mm ...

The evolution of Hall sensor-based ICs has seen a transition first from one-dimension (1D), discrete Hall sensors to highly integrated Hall encoders that contain arrays of Hall sensors on a single die ...

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 ...
