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 ...

You also have to print (or perhaps, laser-cut) two flat encoder disks, one black and one white, the white one being eccentric. It only escalates from here! Both of these disks go inside the motor.

Multiple quadrature encoder support: Mixed-signal FPGAs also offer another benefit for motor control – the capability of driving multiple motors (axles) simultaneously with single mixed-signal device.

Position encoders are sensors that, when used in industrial settings, produce critical motor information such as speed and position. The encoder delivers data for display or data that may serve as ...

Oriental Motor of Japan is offering stepper motors with battery-free multi-turn absolute position encoding that can ride through power-loss. The encoder, ...

If you have a motor and you’d like to know where the shaft position is, you are likely to turn to an optical encoder scheme. However, as [lingib] points out, you can also use a magnet and a ...

PI introduces a new high dynamics linear motor stage family, the V-574 - a new series of linear positioning stages with excellent guiding precision and frictionless 3-phase linear motors.

Although integrated motor feedback is taking a growing share of the market for motion control systems, the future for standalone encoders continues to look bright.

Precisely tracking speed, acceleration, and position of a motor's rotor is an essential requirement for many motor control applications found in everyday equipment such as fax machines, elevators, and ...
