If you have a motor and you’d like to know where the shaft position is, you are likely to turn to an optical encoder scheme. However, as [lingib] points out, you can also use a magnet and a ...

With an outside diameter of 2.5”, the HS25 industrial-grade hollow-shaft encoder is designed to accommodate standard motor shafts of 5/8” diameter. The unit is rugged and sealed for use in industrial ...

Rotary and linear optical encoders are common in position and motion sensing. Here, a disc or plate containing opaque and transparent segments passes between an LED and detector to interrupt a light ...

Precisely tracking speed, acceleration, and position of a motor's rotor is an essential requirement for many motor control applications found in everyday equipment such as fax machines, elevators, and ...

We always think it is interesting that a regular DC motor and a generator are about the same thing. Sure, each is optimized for its purpose, but inefficiencies aside, you can use electricity to rotate ...

• The major issue with all parallel-drive systems is orthogonal alignment. • The dynamic motion generated by any two identical linear-shaft motors is the same ...

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 ...

SICK has unveiled its next-generation family of large-bore hollow-shaft incremental encoders, the SICK DGS80. An innovative design concept has opened up versatile integration possibilities for the ...
