This is an incremental rotary encoder that uses contactless magnetic sensing to detect rotational speed and direction. The two Hall Effect sensors measure the 66-pole ring magnet and output two ...

How does sensor selection contribute to productivity in today's motion-centric automation environment? Michelle • BEI: Selecting the correct environmental, mechanical, and electrical sensor ...

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, ...

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 ...

A while back we featured a magnetic rotary encoder that [LongHairedHacker] designed. The heart of the system is an AS5043 magnetic rotary sensor which runs from $6.5-$11 and has a 10 bits precision.

The wheels of a moving vehicle can move at different speeds, with some turning faster than others. This can cause a loss of steering control and compromise safety on the road. To mitigate this, speed ...

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 ...

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 ...
