The AS5304 and AS5306 ICs feature austriamicrosystems’ new line of magnetic encoders for linear and off axis motion sensing applications. The devices provide an easy-to-use, start & play solution for ...

Featuring a postage-stamp-sized scanning unit along with high accuracy, Heidenhan’s incremental exposed linear encoders will likely fit the needs of stage manufacturers or anyone using linear ...

One key benefit over incremental linear encoders is inherent absolute positioning. A linear encoder is basically a ruler or scale marked with increments that a reading head counts as it travels past.

These devices are ideal for oil and gas installations, chemical plants, woodworking operations, grain handling facilities and ...

An exposed incremental linear encoder from Heidenhain Corp., Schaumburg, Ill., combines a photolithographically produced grating on its scale tape with newly designed scanning ...

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.

For use on machine tools, HEIDENHAIN Corporation's newest absolute LC 185 and LC 485 sealed linear encoders are now available as a complete family. This includes providing options of all the most ...

Encoder feedback is now available on the vendor’s size 8 hybrid linear actuators. The encoder module incorporates a lensed LED light source and monolithic photodetector array with signal-shaping ...

Munich, Germany – Austriamicrosystems expanded its magnetic sensor product portfolio to include the AS5304 and AS5306, two high performance linear Hall sensor ICs. They feature a new line of magnetic ...

"Optical linear encoders have a range of performance that at the upper end could achieve resolutions and accuracy that magnetostrictive sensors could not meet in the past. However, advancements in ...
