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 ...

They are installed not only in electrical linear motors, but also in pneumatic, hydraulic, ball-screw or power-grip belt drives and wherever high-accuracy, dynamic positioning tasks must be performed.

Newtek Sensor Solutions has launched its RV series of rotary position sensors that provides accurate angular displacement measurements for the correct positioning of robotic arms in a wide range of ...

Controlling an earthmoving machine to perform a task requires knowing exactly where its bucket or blade contacts the dirt. Therefore, in addition to knowing the machine’s position, it is necessary to ...

This file type includes high resolution graphics and schematics when applicable. The latest generation of 3D magnetic position sensors from ams AG uses a pair of sensor elements (pixels) that make it ...

Renesas has developed an inductive position sensor (IPS) technology that delivers a resolution of up to 19 bits and accuracy of up to 14 bits. The magnet-free, dual-coil technology can replace ...

Vishay has revealed a high-speed and high-precision inductive rotational position sensor. As the device, RAIK060, uses induction, it “isn’t sensitive to magnetic environments, allowing it to be used ...

Machines now have a lower-cost alternative to noncontact position feedback devices used for hydraulic and pneumatic actuators. The TDP-100 in-cylinder position sensor offers nearly infinite resolution ...
