Rotary and linear optical encoders are common in position and motion sensing. Here, a disc or plate containing opaque and transparent segments passes between an LED and detector to interrupt a light ...

SICK has unveiled its next-generation family of large-bore hollow-shaft incremental encoders, the SICK DGS80. An innovative design concept has opened up versatileintegration possibilities for the ...

The redesigned HS35 vector-duty hollow-shaft encoder from Dynapar Corp., Gurnee, Ill. (www.dynapar.com) has several new features but the same old price. For example, the encoder now carries a 400-g ...

Sendix F5868 and F5888 encoders complement the company's F multiturn family of products with robust high-resolution CANopen encoders with a through hollow shaft up to 15 mm, for a compact size of only ...

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 ...

Fabless chip maker CambridgeIC has improved the accuracy and speed of its non-contact position sensing technology. Implemented in the firm’s CAM502 chip, it uses resonant inductive sensors to deliver ...
