Aimed at linear motion and off-axis rotational measurements, the AS5305 magnetic rotary encoder IC is a complete system-on-a-chip, combining Hall elements and a signal processor. The device supports ...

My previous blog Encoders Know All the Angles introduced encoders that provide information about rotary positions. A diagram illustrated the phase relationship of signals from an incremental encoder.

An unexpected revisit to my earlier post on mouse encoder hacking sparked a timely opportunity to reexamine quadrature encoders, this time with a clearer lens and a more targeted focus on their signal ...

In terms of type, the rotary encoder segment led the MEA encoder market in 2019. Rotary encoders are electromechanical devices used to measure the rotational angle, number of rotations, and the ...

Engineers use rotary encoders to measure the angular position of an attached device, such as a motor shaft, or to measure distance indirectly when used with a linear belt drive, for example. Rotary ...

Ultra-high precision, maintenance-free performance, high velocity, torque motor, encoder PI offers the A-688 rotary stage, an advanced motorized, air-bearing based rotation stage, engineered for ...

An interesting trend in industrial motion control has been the replacement of self-contained encoders (rotation sensors with their own housing, bearings and shaft) with modular or “kit” encoders.

The use of 100% hard-tooled parts and patented light-pipe technology for optical switching enables the Series 62AG optical encoder from Grayhill Inc. to be price-competitive with mechanical encoders ...

In a project, repetitive tasks that break the flow of development work are incredibly tiresome and even simple automation can make a world of difference. [Simon Merrett] ran into exactly this while ...
