[Erich] is the middle of building a new competition sumo bot for 2018. He’s trying to make this one as open and low-cost as humanly possible. So far it’s going pretty well, and the quest to make DIY ...

Self-powered Magnetocode high-resolution absolute magnetic encoders use a patented technology – based on the “Wiegand effect” - that generates a short burst of electric power whenever the shaft ...

Optical or magnetic linear encoders handle high-res needs in dirty jobs. Linear encoders help minimize errors in motion transmission such as backlash, hysteresis, abbe errors, ball-screw thermal ...

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 ...

austriamicrosystems introduces the AS5046, a new 12-bit resolution magnetic rotary encoder offering rotation, tilt and vertical distance detection of a magnet placed above the IC. The device can ...

POSITAL’s new family of kit encoders provide the manufacturers of servomotors and other machinery with rugged, accurate and cost-efficient tools for building rotary position measurements into their ...

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 ...

The encoders are based on the company’s self-contained magnetic rotary encoders used with servomotors and rotating equipment, but with the core components of these instruments available as separate ...
