The leading and longest established online Process Engineering publication serving the Process Manufacturing Industries ...

Rotary encoders connect to a shaft and, as the shaft rotates, the encoder outputs pulses. These are used to determine the speed of the object. By counting the amount of pulses per one full turn of the ...

Similar in size and shape to the common panel-mounted potentiometer, the incremental rotary encoder provides an inexpensive ‘digital’ alternative to the analog potentiometer. It is typically used to ...

Incremental-rotation or linear encoders are very common, but normally they do not provide a direction signal. This design shows an easy way to detect forward or reverse direction. Incremental encoders ...

IXARC magnetic encoders provide an incremental interface with A, B, Z, and inverted signals available as HTL (Push-Pull) or TTL (RS422). IXARC magnetic encoders provide an incremental interface with A ...

An absolute encoder includes a coding disk in binary or gray code format, the electronics to read it, and communications circuits. A multiturn encoder may have several disks connected by gears as ...

Renishaw, is adding to its extensive optical encoder range with the launch of the Vionic series, a new set of ultra-high accuracy, super-compact all-in-one digital incremental encoders. Designed for ...

The encoder device iC-TW2 is a highly integrated sine-to-digital converter which interpolates analog sine/cosine signals from magnetic and optical sensors with a freely selectable resolution of up to ...

Position encoders are sensors that, when used in industrial settings, produce critical motor information such as speed and position. The encoder delivers data for display or data that may serve as ...

Leine and Linde now offers a newly revised signal splitter, allowing outputs from a single encoder to be sent to two separate control systems. This DIN Mounted Interface converter (DMI) provides this ...

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 ...

A MAG-G magnetic encoder with a split pulse wheel and scanning head. The new MAG(-G) 50-1200 magnetic encoders from Johannes Huebner GmbH can be installed without bearings or housings, and the system ...
