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 ...

The Model 30M and Model 30MT combine a Hall-effect sensor, advanced signal processing circuitry, and a small magnetic target which can be affixed to a rotating shaft via a supplied shaft adaptor or ...

An interesting trend in industrial motion control has been the replacement of self-contained encoders (rotation sensors with their own housing, bearings and shaft) with modular or “kit” encoders.

Avago Technologies has designed a range of 3-channel optical incremental encoder modules for controlling DC servo motors, but also robotics and drones. The AEDT-981x module incorporates an ...

HEIDENHAIN launches a new product family that is a merger of HEIDENHAIN bearing and angle encoder technologies. Resulting in the MRP 2000, 5000 and 8000 (as well as customer-specific variants), these ...

Encoders are a vital component in many applications that require motion control and feedback information. Whether a system’s requirement is speed, direction, or distance, an encoder produces control ...
