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 ...

Multiturn absolute encoders resemble any absolute encoder where light shines through an etched disc that has a combination of ON and OFF signals. resemble any absolute encoder where light shines ...

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 ...

Crane installations are the elephants in the animal kingdom of machinery—not only for being real heavyweights themselves, but also for performing hardest work day in and day out, often under harsh ...

Optical encoders and transducers enable users to translate information from one code to another. Optical encoders come in different varieties including rotary encoders and linear encoders. The optical ...

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 ...
