Several applications require a through shaft which prevents from using the basic principle which is angular position measurement using variation of magnetic field amplitude induced by the displacement ...

Able to handle temperatures from –40° to 165°C and the harsh environment of automotive applications, a Hall-effect sensor module can detect the position of a rotating shaft. The device can operate in ...

This file type includes high-resolution graphics and schematics when applicable. In the seemingly endless quest for higher motor performance and improved system cost efficiencies, motor manufacturers ...

Novotechnik recently introduced the new WAL 200 Series of hollow shaft angle sensors that provide absolute, rotary position. Novotechnik recently introduced the new WAL 200 Series of hollow shaft ...

Rotary encoders sense changes in the position of a rotating shaft, then generate signals that send speed, direction, and position information to a receiving device such as a counter, drive, or ...

Most of the hacks we see around these parts have to do with taking existing components and cobbling them together in interesting new ways. It’s less often that we see existing components gutted and ...

Last year, Automation World examined the differences between accuracy, resolution, and precision in the encoder world. And while understanding the differences among these terms is important to ...
