A quadrature encoder uses two output channels offset in phase to detect both direction and position with greater precision.

Optical or magnetic linear encoders are traditionally used to provide position feedback in applications with frequent product changes or and sophisticated machining. Linear encoders improve the ...

The FOT variants of the KCI 1300 inductive encoders from Heidenhain can also serve as a bearing cover. A growing trend in encoder technology is the integration of additional sensors to add diagnostic ...

Baumer will be demonstrating pioneering sensor solutions that under the motto "faster, more efficient, more sustainable" ...

Tired of encoders that take space and need maintenance? A sensor design makes motion systems smaller and easier to use.

This is an incremental rotary encoder that uses contactless magnetic sensing to detect rotational speed and direction. The two Hall Effect sensors measure the 66-pole ring magnet and output two ...

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 ...

The PST-360 rotary, through-hole position sensor combines a through-shaft design with 360º absolute position feedback in an extremely thin package. It incorporates a proprietary ring magnet with a ...

Operating reliably in extreme conditions and applications, the solid-state RLS magnetic rotary sensors/encoders offer redundant models featuring two independent sensors on one chip. Each sensor is ...

The sensors can be utilized as encoders because they offer the performance and reliability needed for dynamic closed-loop control. They provide continuous, precise position feedback that permits ...
