While standard optical encoders have traditionally been used to meet the needs of high-precision sensing and control applications (such as steering-wheel position detection or industrial motion ...
The sensing mechanism in an incremental optical rotary encoder consists primarily of a light source, code wheel, and optical detector. As the code wheel turns, a ring of alternating opaque and ...
Renishaw has introduced 1 nm and 2 nm resolution versions of its TONiC incremental encoder range. Available in linear and rotary formats, the new higher resolution options comprise a standard TONiC ...
UHV ultra-high vacuum compatible readhead provides absolute position feedback, sub-micron accuracy and resolutions to 1 nm for both linear and rotary applications. July 11, 2012–Renishaw introduces ...
The magnetic rotary encoder (MRE) reference design is a smart integrated system for angle measurement. It is composed of a FXOS8700 magnetometer, a Kinetis KL46Z microcontroller built on the ARM® ...
C&K has launched an optical rotary encoder, the ENC Series 24-Position Optical Encoder with integrated pushbutton. The ENC Series encoder was developed as an improvement on the company's 16 Position ...
