The new magnetic encoders from Posital provide absolute position feedback They are available with multi-turn measurement ranges which can be useful when a motor is connected to a screw shaft, cable ...

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 ...

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 ...

The CoreTech CA6 Series Single-Turn Absolute Encoder is available in any resolution from 2 to 32,768 ppr. Alignment of encoder zero position to the mechanical zero position is quick and easy with an ...

Position encoders are sensors that, when used in industrial settings, produce critical motor information such as speed and position. The encoder delivers data for display or data that may serve as ...

Avago Technologies (Nasdaq: AVGO), a leading supplier of analog interface components for communications, industrial and consumer applications, today announced a high-resolution absolute optical ...

Faster and more robust, with black channel support for functional safety HEIDENHAIN CORPORATION announces EnDat 3, a new version of its popular absolute position encoder interface. The new EnDat 3 ...

Avago Technologies announced a high-resolution absolute optical encoder for high-performance servo and motor feedback applications. The new AEAT-9000 ultra-precision absolute encoder provides ...

Absolute encoders using optical technology often face limitations in resolution and size. For example, to achieve a higher resolution of up to 16-bits, the absolute encoder has to be combined with an ...

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 ...

Thanks to the smooth-running precision linear guides with crossed roller bearings, the linear stage is particularly suitable for scanning applications with constant velocity. The anti-creep system ...
