Most of the hacks we see around these parts have to do with taking existing components and cobbling them together in interesting new ways. It’s less often that we see existing components gutted and ...

An incremental rotary encoder converts angular motion or the position of a shaft to either analog or digital code. Incremental encoders are often used in feedback systems. These encoders translate ...

Linear encoders sense and digitize linear position and movement. A linear encoder is a sensor linked to a scale. The sensor reads the scale and converts position into an analog or digital signal that ...

Researchers have developed a self-powered angular displacement sensor that combines triboelectric nanogenerator technology ...

For engineers seeking a motor scaled down in size but not power, QuickSilver Controls has extended its Mosolver (portmanteau of “motor” and “resolver”) servo motion actuator into a NEMA 17 frame ...

The AMR4020VD supports parallel or perpendicular PCB mounting and resists external magnetic fields up to 1,500 Gauss. MultiDimension Technology Co., Ltd. (MDT) announced the launch of its AMR4020VD ...

It's just that their speed varies least from no load to full load of all ac-induction motors. Other induction-motor types don't even come close to matching the speed regulation of these motors. Yet, ...

The FOT variants of the KCI 1300 inductive encoders from Heidenhain can also serve as a bearing cover. A growing trend in encoder technology is the integration of additional sensors to add diagnostic ...

Sensor Technology Ltd introduces the SGR523, a state-of-the-art digital rotary torque sensor equipped with an integrated incremental angle encoder. This innovative addition to the TorqSense SGR series ...

Optical or magnetic linear encoders are traditionally used to provide position feedback in applications with frequent product changes or and sophisticated machining. Linear encoders improve the ...
