We’re all familiar with getting feedback from a rotating shaft, for which we usually employ a potentiometer or encoder. But there’s another device that, while less well-known, has some advantages that ...

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 ...

These IXARC magnetic encoders withstand harsh environments and are modular for maximum versatility. Rotary encoders measure the rotation of machine shafts and report the results to electronic controls ...

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.

The A-62x PIglide RM Rotation Stage with Air Bearings features best value for wobble and flatness and one can reach high accuracy because of high-precision air bearing. The PIglide RM series of ...

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 ...
