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 ...

Baumer's newHS35 family ofincremental hollow shaft encoders includes a fully-programmable version, forheavy-duty positioning and speed control applications. Available in an IP67version, these rugged ...

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 ...

If you have a motor and you’d like to know where the shaft position is, you are likely to turn to an optical encoder scheme. However, as [lingib] points out, you can also use a magnet and a ...

Featuring a new shaft coupling that provides mechanical fault exclusion for connection to the user’s machine shaft, the encoders are of particular use in safety-related applications up to SIL 2 PL d ...

Computer Conversions' Shaft-Tracker resolver-based encoder provides both incremental and true absolute position outputs with a resolution of 4096 counts/turn. A rugged, self-contained, resolver-based ...

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 ...

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 ...

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 ...
