Position encoders are sensors that, when used in industrial settings, produce critical motor information such as speed and position. The encoder delivers data for display or data that may serve as ...

The electric motor is the fundamental building block of almost all robotic projects but, without some form of feedback, it lacks the precise positional control required for the task. Small servos from ...

In robotics, movements must be precise and well-controlled. As robots are asked to do more as industry becomes more familiar with the technology, there will be an increasing need for high accuracy ...

A new magnetic digital encoder featuring 14-bit resolution, differential outputs, and a speed range of up to 200-k e-RPM offers accurate and cost-effective position sensing for various robotic and ...

This article discusses a magnetic encoder intended for electrical motor driving employing ATS605LSG. It includes the advantages of magnetic encoder, guidelines for motor driving, general applications ...

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.

Linear positioning stage with absolute encoder, frictionless motor and excellent guiding precision (Nanowerk News) Global precision motion control and nanopositioning industry leader PI introduces a ...

A standard reflective encoder module contains two digital output channels for direction sensing, but needs another module for indexing. Similarly, motion feedback applications requiring ...

We always think it is interesting that a regular DC motor and a generator are about the same thing. Sure, each is optimized for its purpose, but inefficiencies aside, you can use electricity to rotate ...

Motion and precision positioning systems expert PI (Physik Instrumente) has released a new member of the PIMag® family of precision positioning stages with magnetic direct drives. Oct. 14, 2015 Motion ...

SICK, one of the world’s leading manufacturers of sensors, safety systems, machine vision, encoders and automatic identification solutions for factory, logistics, and process automation, today ...
