Precisely tracking speed, acceleration, and position of a motor's rotor is an essential requirement for many motor control applications found in everyday equipment such as fax machines, elevators, and ...

The products are designed for demanding industry and research applications of scanning, measuring, imaging and alignment.

The advanced stage design provides for excellent straightness and flatness values as low as 1µm. Crossed roller bearings ...

Why are there so many different angle encoders on the market? Why do they use different scanning and measuring methods? And which one should a designer choose? To answer those questions, engineers at ...

Encoder specialist POSITAL has expanded its line of kit-style encoders for feedback for servo and stepper motors with new models that utilize the same mounting form factor as incremental kit encoders ...

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.

Insights into the use of built-in accelerometers and additional sensors in encoders to enable predictive maintenance and condition monitoring while simplifying installation and cabling. The FOT ...

Alignment of optical encoder commutation signals to a Brushless DC (BLDC) motor could be thought of as being comparable to timing the distributor on a car engine. The distributor tells the spark plugs ...

Renesas introduced inductive position sensor ICs that can be fully customized for coil designs of industrial applications.
