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 ...

Two sets of internal electronics send identical isolated output signals to two separate connectors. If one output becomes electrically damaged, the cable can be switched to the other connector. The ...

The RHI58 incremental rotary encoders offer pulse outputs up to 100,000 ppr. The hollow-shaft encoders provide a maximum frequency of 300 kHz with six outputs and a cable connection. Additional ...

For any designs that deal with large motors, isolation is a desired characteristic for both control and sense loops. Turn on, turn off, changes in load, changes in power, and unexpected events can ...

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

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 ...

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 ...

Baumer has released the EB360 bearingless multi-turn magnetic encoder with a compact design for precise feedback in challenging environments. With wear-free operation and a modular, space-saving ...

With an integral brake and encoder shaft, the Model No. MMP-D22-376H-24V GP52-195 BR-005 gearmotor accepts any 24 Vdc source and measures 2.25” in diameter and 9” long. It has a keyed output shaft ...

Continuing his tradition of making bits of wire and scraps of wood work wonders, [HomoFaciens] is back with a unique and clever design for an electromechanical encoder. There are lots of ways to build ...
