If you have a motor and you’d like to know where the shaft position is, you are likely to turn to an optical encoder scheme. However, as [lingib] points out, you can also use a magnet and a ...

With an outside diameter of 2.5”, the HS25 industrial-grade hollow-shaft encoder is designed to accommodate standard motor shafts of 5/8” diameter. The unit is rugged and sealed for use in ...

Two opamps on two coils produce a quadrature signal just like a normal encoder. When the shaft turns in one direction, one pulse will lead the other.

Multiple quadrature encoder support: Mixed-signal FPGAs also offer another benefit for motor control – the capability of driving multiple motors (axles) simultaneously with single mixed-signal device.

This file type includes high resolution graphics and schematics when applicable. Rotary encoders track motor shaft movement for myriad pieces of industrial equipment and commercial devices. For ...

The encoder is attached to the motor shaft and delivers signals that will indicate speed or position. Rotary encoders come in two basic flavors: incremental and absolute.

How optical rotary encoders can provide real-time motion feedback on motion applications using stepper motor-driven linear actuators.

CambridgeIC 14bit inductive shaft encoder copes with misalignment Fabless chip maker CambridgeIC has improved the accuracy and speed of its non-contact position sensing technology.

SICK’s new large bore hollow-shaft encoder family therefore gives end-users and machine builders the confidence of universal machine compatibility while stocking minimal inventory. The DGS80 is also ...

Oriental Motor of Japan is offering stepper motors with battery-free multi-turn absolute position encoding that can ride through power-loss. The encoder, ...

Kollmorgen’s AKM and AKM2G servo motors with the new SFD-M encoder, along with its AKD and AKD2G servo drives, are ...

Rotary encoders are commonly deployed in the closed-loop rotor systems used in a wide variety of applications from robotics and high end photographic lenses to opto-mechanical mice and trackballs to ...
