An encoder is a sensor that is fixed to a rotating object such as wheel or motor to measure the rotation of the object. This measurement can help robots to determine the angle of a rotating sensor, ...

Abstract: A model of an incremental shaft encoder is developed to facilitate sensor characterization. The model is obtained through derivation of a new mathematical ...

In several applications, it is not possible to access the end of a shaft for an angle measurement as shown above. An easy-to-use approach is to use a magnetic 3D sensor by measuring the X-Y (X-Z or ...

Fabless chip maker CambridgeIC has improved the accuracy and speed of its non-contact position sensing technology. Implemented in the firm’s CAM502 chip, it uses resonant inductive sensors to deliver ...

Wachendorff Automation is expanding its range of industrial-strength hollow-shaft encoders. After the industry standard dimensions of e.g. 58 mm housing diameter had been qualified to a protection ...

The new LIKA EHCT59 absolute encoder is marked by its through hollow shaft and the integration of the EHG (Energy Harvesting Generator) technology platform. It offers a high single-turn resolution of ...

Noncontact magnetic rotary encoders are hard to beat when it comes to measuring rotary motion in machinery, as they are relatively small, strong, and inexpensive devices compared to traditional ...

Abstract: A low-frequency angular acceleration rotary table (LFAART) is capable of sinusoidal motion around a fixed position and essential to verify dynamic characteristics of a gyroscope device. The ...

Encoder sensors are a type of mechanical motion sensor that create a digital signal from a motion. It is an electro-mechanical device that provides users (commonly those in a motion control capacity) ...

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 ...
