Austriamicrosystems announces new 2-Dimensional Hall-sensor IC for human-machine interfaces. Austriamicrosystems has announced the AS5013, a contactless magnetic encoder IC that monitors the ...

The AS5145 is a contactless, complete system-on-chip magnetic rotary encoder for accurate angular measurement over a full turn of 360° with a resolution of 0.0879° = 4096 positions per revolution.

The AS5215, a dual-die, high-precision analog sine- and cosine-output magnetic encoder IC, is available for use in automotive applications such as electronic power-steering systems. The encoder, which ...

The non-contact, 12-bit IC with no moving parts and programmable zero position delivers 0.1° accuracy at speeds up to 60,000 rpm. That level of resolution is ideal for commutation, high-speed motor ...

In robotics, movements must be precise and well-controlled. As robots are asked to do more as industry becomes more familiar with the technology, there will be an increasing need for high accuracy ...

What is being billed as the world's smallest 10-bit multiple-output magnetic rotary encoder IC comes from austriamicrosystems USA Inc., Raleigh, N.C. The AS5040 system-on-chip integrates field-sensing ...

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 ...

A typical linear encoder consists of a scanning unit and a scale. The scale is generally glass and is cemented to a support, usually an aluminum extrusion. The scanning unit contains a light source, ...
