• The new mantra of position encoding is low-current drain. • Capacitive encoding is a way to realize low-power consumption without giving up resolution or accuracy, even at relatively low speeds.

Noncontact magnetic rotary encoders are hard to beat when it comes to measuring rotary motion in machinery, as they are relatively small, strong, and inexpensive devices compared to traditional ...

These capacitive hollow shaft kit encoders are not limited to a single-turn measurement range: they feature an integrated rotation counter that records each revolution the instrument experiences, even ...

Fabless chip maker CambridgeIC has improved the accuracy and speed of its non-contact position sensing technology. Implemented in the firm’s CAM502 chip, it uses resonant inductive sensors to deliver ...

To attain accurate positioning, a servo system requires a feedback signal to close its feedback loop. Instruments that typically supply the feedback signal include optical encoders, resolvers, and ...

Designed for automotive, medical, and industrial applications, C&K has developed a new optical rotary encoder, the ENC Series 24-position optical encoder with an integrated pushbutton. The ENC Series ...

Encoders are integral parts of motor-control systems that sense mechanical motion, then generate digital signals in response to that motion. The trend today is to create smaller mechanical and ...
