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 ...

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 ...

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 ...

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 ...

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 ...

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 ...

Same Sky’s Motion & Control Group has introduced the AMT absolute encoder family designed to support larger motor shaft sizes from 9 mm to 15.875 mm (5/8 inch). These devices can be used in industrial ...

Renishaw unveils its true‑absolute multi‑DoF encoder system with the new RXMA30 1.5D scale for high‑performance motion c ...

BI Technologies is developing an absolute encoder based on its proprietary DAPS (Digital Angular Position Sensor) technology. Available with multiple output configurations, the encoder will feature 12 ...

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 ...

In some categories of motor drive applications, users have little or no tolerance for unpredictable, uneven, or irregular motor behavior. While this certainly cannot be said of all motor-driven ...

The AEAS-7 series absolute optical encoders supply position information without requiring shaft movement. The units generate a unique binary word for each shaft ...
