Encoders are a vital component in many applications that require motion control and feedback information. Whether a system’s requirement is speed, direction, or distance, an encoder produces control ...

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 ...

That level of resolution is ideal for commutation, high-speed motor control, position/velocity control, and replacement of potentiometers and optical encoders. It’s a low-power 3.3-V (or 5-V) device, ...

UNTERPREMSTAETTEN, Austria--(BUSINESS WIRE)--ams AG (SIX: AMS), a leading provider of high performance analog ICs and sensors, today introduced a new series of magnetic position sensors featuring a ...

At embedded world, on the DigiKey booth, Lucy Barnard speaks with Enda Nicholl at Analog Devices about simplifying actuation ...

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 ...

The full line of absolute encoders Form Encoder Products Co., including those with shaft and blind hollow bores in sizes 36 mm, 58 mm, and standard Size 25 with a 2.5 inch housing now have more ...

[Erich] is the middle of building a new competition sumo bot for 2018. He’s trying to make this one as open and low-cost as humanly possible. So far it’s going pretty well, and the quest to make DIY ...

• The new mantra of position encoding is low-current drain. • Capacitive encoding is a way to realize low-power consumption without giving up resolution or accuracy, even at relatively low speeds.
