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 ...

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 ...

The A2K Absolute Optical Encoder from US Digital can be assembled onto existing shaft and bearing assemblies. The encoder reports the shaft angle within a single 360° rotation of a shaft. Last year, ...

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 ...

Why are there so many different angle encoders on the market? Why do they use different scanning and measuring methods? And which one should a designer choose? To answer those questions, engineers at ...

One of the key factors of any automated system is safety. To ensure safety of operators, machines must operate within safety parameters. If a machine strays from these parameters, safety components ...

The project is based around the AS5040 chip that uses a magnet to provide positional feedback information and 10 bits of resolution per rotation. The project is based around the AS5040 chip that uses ...
