Motion-control or industrial automation system designers who need to measure the rotation of shafts or other mechanical components can typically choose from two types of rotary encoders. Encoders ...

Same Sky has created an absolute encoder family for motor shafts from 9 to 15.875mm (5/8inch). Called AMT25 and said to be accurate to ±0.2°, the family relies on the same in-house capacitive ASIC for ...

Rotary encoders are pretty interesting pieces of technology. They’re a solid way to accurately measure rotation including the direction. [David] recently wrote some software to handle these input ...

These IXARC magnetic encoders withstand harsh environments and are modular for maximum versatility. Rotary encoders measure the rotation of machine shafts and report the results to electronic controls ...
