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 ...

Baumer's newHS35 family ofincremental hollow shaft encoders includes a fully-programmable version, forheavy-duty positioning and speed control applications. Available in an IP67version, these rugged ...

SCHAUMBURG, IL--(Marketwired - August 05, 2014) - Leine & Linde's 800 rotary encoder series now includes an integrated over-speed capability with programmable switching speeds. In many industrial ...

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 ...

Rotary encoders connect to a shaft and, as the shaft rotates, the encoder outputs pulses. These are used to determine the speed of the object. By counting the amount of pulses per one full turn of the ...

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 ...

Leine & Linde’s 800 rotary encoder series now includes an integrated over-speed capability with programmable switching speeds. In many industrial applications like wind turbines, steel plants or ...

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 ...

A new series of commutating motor feedback encoders is said to make it easier and cheaper for designers to improve machine performance and productivity in stepper and servo motor applications.

A family of single- and dual-channel incremental encoders provides designers with a selection of miniature devices designed for general encoding of low-speed applications. Designated the OPE1275 ...
