Cheap digital calipers hide a clever capacitive encoder inside, and Nick Steele has turned that idea into an open-source ...

Linear encoders sense and digitize linear position and movement. A linear encoder is a sensor linked to a scale. The sensor reads the scale and converts position into an analog or digital signal that ...

Renishaw now offers longer sealed encoder scale lengths to support the development of large machine tools. Customers can choose FORTiS™ enclosed encoder linear scales as long as 4.24 m for their ...

Linear encoders are often essential. Even where they’re not, benefits they offer can justify the additional cost they incur. Linear encoders bypass the mechanical linkages of rotary-to-linear motion ...

Renishaw offers a comprehensive range of non-contact encoders for position and motion control. These vary from open or enclosed optical, magnetic and laser encoders. Discover how our different types ...

The AMR4020VD supports parallel or perpendicular PCB mounting and resists external magnetic fields up to 1,500 Gauss. MultiDimension Technology Co., Ltd. (MDT) announced the launch of its AMR4020VD ...

There is an ever-increasing demand for accuracy in many manufacturing industries. Adding to this general need for higher accuracy is the fact that industry sectors such as semiconductors and ...

Myriad applications require custom torque motors — including hard-machining table drives, mirror millers, and measuring and grinding machines. In fact, machine builders for these applications are now ...

An incremental rotary encoder converts angular motion or the position of a shaft to either analog or digital code. Incremental encoders are often used in feedback systems. These encoders translate ...
