SICK has expanded its proven, non-contact magnetostrictive linear encoder portfolio with the launch of a versatile product family for wide-ranging industrial applications. The DAX® linear encoders ...

A typical linear encoder consists of a scanning unit and a scale. The scale is generally glass and is cemented to a support, usually an aluminum extrusion. The scanning unit contains a light source, ...

Linear encoders are the sensors that detect linear movements as absolute position values without establishing a physical contact with the object. Linear encoders play a crucial role in determining the ...

The term Industry 4.0 is on everyone’s mind. Industry 4.0 doesn’t just refer to the intelligent networking of sensors and machines, but rather to the possibility of providing solutions, which make ...

SICK has expanded its MAX® family of linear encoders to extend the space-saving, operating cost and maintenance benefits offered by its innovative magnetostrictive measurement technology to smaller ...

Renishaw (www.renishaw.com) has developed new linear encoders that feature a special stainless steel scale, ultralow ±30 nm cyclic error, patented filtering optics and ±4μm accuracy to deliver the ...

The DWS60 Draw Wire encoder system provides linear motion feedback over long distances for a range of industrial applications. Key features include an extended measurement range capable of measuring ...

Thanks to the smooth-running precision linear guides with crossed roller bearings, the linear stage is particularly suitable for scanning applications with constant velocity. The anti-creep system ...

The SMA2 absolute linear encoder is ideally suited for applications where small size, fine resolution and great accuracy are mandatory, such as linear motors and robotic systems. It is designed to be ...

The iC-MHL200 from iC-Haus is a 12-bit IC for linear and angular magnetic encoder applications. Housed in a TSSOP20 package, the chip includes a linear Hall sensor array which is adapted to the ...

Rotary encoders convert rotary movement or angular position into analogue or digital signals for use in measurement or control systems. They can be classified in a number of ways, primarily by the ...
