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 ...

Rotary and linear optical encoders are common in position and motion sensing. Rotary and linear optical encoders are common in position and motion sensing. Here, a disc or plate containing opaque and ...

With an outside diameter of 2.5”, the HS25 industrial-grade hollow-shaft encoder is designed to accommodate standard motor shafts of 5/8” diameter. The unit is rugged and sealed for use in industrial ...

This file type includes high resolution graphics and schematics when applicable. Rotary encoders track motor shaft movement for myriad pieces of industrial equipment and commercial devices. For ...

The electric motor is the fundamental building block of almost all robotic projects but, without some form of feedback, it lacks the precise positional control required for the task. Small servos from ...

Precisely tracking speed, acceleration, and position of a motor's rotor is an essential requirement for many motor control applications found in everyday equipment such as fax machines, elevators, and ...

How optical rotary encoders can provide real-time motion feedback on motion applications using stepper motor-driven linear actuators. Stepper motor linear actuators with added optical encoders (From ...

When it comes to the world of motion control, it’s easy to take your feedback device for granted. After all, it’s a small ...

Heidenhain’s ECN/EQN/ERN 400 series are especially useful in applications where quick machine shut-off is required in dangerous situations. Featuring a new shaft coupling that provides mechanical ...
