Basic incremental encoders send out a pulse each time the shaft moves a certain amount. Yet for many motion control applications, this isn't enough information: The control must know the exact ...

Not hard to imagine at all. Now suppose your latest self-quarantine project needs a rotary shaft encoder. Not having one, what do you do? If you are [Tech Build] you go all MacGyver on an old ...

A new hollow-shaft version of the company’s MCD rotary encoder makes it easy to mount the device on shafts up to 20 mm in diameter. A new hollow-shaft version of the company’s MCD rotary ...

Small servos from the modelling world will often use a potentiometer to sense where they are on their travel, while more accomplished motors will employ some form of shaft encoder. Commercial ...

Sendix F5868 and F5888 encoders complement the company's F multiturn family of products with robust high-resolution CANopen encoders with a through hollow shaft up to 15 mm, for a compact size of only ...

Now offered in standard inch shaft and coupling sizes, the T-Line 40-mm series of incremental rotary encoders are compact, 40-mm diameter (1.57 in.) encoders that come standard with an integral 2 ...

Significantly higher accuracy for robots At the show, HEIDENHAIN will present the ECI 4000 absolute inductive rotary encoder for hollow shaft diameters of 180 mm. Not only is this encoder robust ...
