Encoders are the most widely used feedback devices for electric motor control, capable of delivering precise position and speed feedback for closed-loop performance. With numerous technology options ...

Rotary encoders connect to a shaft and, as the shaft rotates, the encoder outputs pulses. These are used to determine the speed of the object. By counting the amount of pulses per one full turn of the ...

Understanding the fundamentals is key to a tailor-made solution. This is the first of a two-part series. Part 2 can be found here. Encoders play an integral role in almost every mechanical system that ...

There’s no denying that the reach and variety of internet radio is super cool. The problem is that none of the available interfaces really give the enormity of the thing the justice it deserves. We ...

austriamicrosystems has announced the AS5050 10-bit magnetic rotary encoder IC for contactless position sensing with the industry’s lowest power and smallest size. austriamicrosystems has announced ...

When you need to record the angle of something rotating, whether it’s a knob or a joint in a robotic arm, absolute rotary encoders are almost always the way to go. They’re cheap, they’re readily ...
