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 ...

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 ...

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 ...

HEIDENHAIN CORPORATION is pleased to announce the start of series production of their ROC 2000 and ROC 7000, a new family of Absolute Solid Shafted Angle Encoders. Using the same mechanical ...

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 ...

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 ...

Measuring 52 mm in diameter and 30 mm high, the MAS42 and MAH42 absolute encoders provide up to 12-bit resolution. The parts come in 6- and 10-mm shaft versions, and deliver gray code, natural binary, ...

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 ...
