Direct drives place rigorous demands on position-signal quality. Optimum measuring signals increase the quality of the machined workpiece surface, reduce vibration in the machine frame, stop excessive ...

POSITAL’s measuring wheel accessories for its IXARC family of rotary encoders enables these devices to make accurate linear motions and position measurements. “Encoders are great for measuring ...

Encoders are integral parts of motor-control systems that sense mechanical motion, then generate digital signals in response to that motion. The trend today is to create smaller mechanical and ...

For engineers seeking a motor scaled down in size but not power, QuickSilver Controls has extended its Mosolver (portmanteau of “motor” and “resolver”) servo motion actuator into a NEMA 17 frame ...

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 ...

The MR318 from Micronor is an MRI-compatible fiber-optic rotary encoder that can function both as an incremental and absolute position encoder. A new encoder is the world's first and only commercially ...

• The new mantra of position encoding is low-current drain. • Capacitive encoding is a way to realize low-power consumption without giving up resolution or accuracy, even at relatively low speeds.

Analog and digital optoelectronic sensors combine an LED and an optoelectronic integrated circuit in a compact package to enable optical encoders to provide absolute or incremental position detection ...

In industrial applications requiring high levels of precision, the position encoder impacts the velocity control and positioning of linear motors and results in quiet motor operation with less heat ...
