Vying for position as a contactless alternative to mechanical rotary switches, the AS5030 and AS5130 8-bit absolute magnetic rotary encoders integrate push button and low-power mode features. Both ...

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 ...

A new magnetic digital encoder featuring 14-bit resolution, differential outputs, and a speed range of up to 200-k e-RPM offers accurate and cost-effective position sensing for various robotic and ...

The Mercury II digital encoder, for high-performance motion-control applications, is available in four models with resolutions ranging from 5- µm to 1.2-nm linear or 20k to 268M-CPR rotary. The ...

Encoders are a vital component in many applications that require motion control and feedback information. Whether a system’s requirement is speed, direction, or distance, an encoder produces control ...

Engineers use rotary encoders to measure the angular position of an attached device, such as a motor shaft, or to measure distance indirectly when used with a linear belt drive, for example. Rotary ...

Similar in size and shape to the common panel-mounted potentiometer, the incremental rotary encoder provides an inexpensive ‘digital’ alternative to the analog potentiometer. It is typically used to ...
