Same Sky has created an absolute encoder family for motor shafts from 9 to 15.875mm (5/8inch). Called AMT25 and said to be accurate to ±0.2°, the family relies on the same in-house capacitive ASIC for ...

The MA3 from US Digital is a miniature absolute magnetic shaft encoder that provides shaft position information over 360° of rotation with no stops or gaps. The device is available in two output ...

Multiturn absolute encoders resemble any absolute encoder where light shines through an etched disc that has a combination of ON and OFF signals. resemble any absolute encoder where light shines ...

According to [Lee Teschler], the classic representation of encoders showing code rings is out of date. His post says that most industrial absolute encoders use a special magnetic sensor known as a ...

The hollow-shaft ENA361 and solid-shaft ESA361M single-turn absolute encoders are extremely rugged, with high-resolution (12-bit internal) 4 to 20-mA or 0 to 10-V outputs and measuring range options ...

Rotary and linear optical encoders are common in position and motion sensing. Here, a disc or plate containing opaque and transparent segments passes between an LED and detector to interrupt a light ...

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 ...

Amicra Microtechnologies replaced its incremental measuring systems with absolute optical encoders to better manage the complex machine motions in its NovaPlus surface mounting and stack-die assembly ...

There’s no denying that the reach and variety of internet radio is super cool. The problem is that none of the available interfaces really give the enormity of the thing the justice it deserves. We ...

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 ...
