For engineers seeking a motor scaled down in size but not power, QuickSilver Controls has extended its Mosolver (portmanteau of “motor” and “resolver”) servo motion actuator into a NEMA 17 frame ...

The need for accuracy and precision in industrial systems continues to grow as more advanced processes are implemented in manufacturing, among other sectors. The devices used in position sensing on ...

Magnetic-Free Dual-Coil Technology Provides High Resolution, Precision and Reliability for Motor Position Sensors Used in Robotics, Industrial and Medical Devices TOKYO--(BUSINESS WIRE)-- Renesas ...

Lowering the overall automotive carbon footprint and enabling vehicles to harness lost energy drives the automotive industry today. Due to this worldwide push, manufacturers are now investing in new ...

Why are there so many different angle encoders on the market? Why do they use different scanning and measuring methods? And which one should a designer choose? To answer those questions, engineers at ...

That level of resolution is ideal for commutation, high-speed motor control, position/velocity control, and replacement of potentiometers and optical encoders. It’s a low-power 3.3-V (or 5-V) device, ...

Before the digital age, when transistors were expensive, unreliable, and/or nonexistent, engineers had to use other tricks to do things that we take for granted nowadays. Motor positioning, for ...

Linear encoders sense and digitize linear position and movement. A linear encoder is a sensor linked to a scale. The sensor reads the scale and converts position into an analog or digital signal that ...

Here is a motor speed sensor module, the major goal is to check the rate of an electric motor. The module can be used in association with a microcontroller for motor speed detection, pulse count, ...

Rotary encoders convert a shaft's angular position into an analog or digital code. They are characterized as either incremental or absolute devices: incremental encoders are capable of tracking motion ...

Last year, Automation World examined the differences between accuracy, resolution, and precision in the encoder world. And while understanding the differences among these terms is important to ...
