Able to detect vertical distances over several millimeters, the 12-bit AS5046 magnetic rotary encoder offers rotation, tilt, and vertical-distance detection of a magnet placed above the IC. Combining ...

The UPR-270 Air features best value for wobble and flatness and one can reach high accuracy because of high-precision air bearing. All rotation stages UPR-270 AIR are directly driven by a torque motor ...

Rotary encoders sense changes in the position of a rotating shaft, then generate signals that send speed, direction, and position information to a receiving device such as a counter, drive, or ...

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.

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 ...

PI and PI miCos provide a large variety of rotary precision positioning stages with a number of different motor and drive options. Standard and vacuum compatible UHV versions are available. Options ...

Rotary encoders convert rotary movement or angular position into analogue or digital signals for use in measurement or control systems. They can be classified in a number of ways, primarily by the ...

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 ...

Continuing his tradition of making bits of wire and scraps of wood work wonders, [HomoFaciens] is back with a unique and clever design for an electromechanical encoder. There are lots of ways to build ...

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 ...
