A MAG-G magnetic encoder with a split pulse wheel and scanning head. The new MAG(-G) 50-1200 magnetic encoders from Johannes Huebner GmbH can be installed without bearings or housings, and the system ...

Enhancements to Posital’s programmable encoders have made it simpler to configure wheel-equipped encoders to meet user requirements. Wheel-encoder assemblies measure speed and position directly from a ...

Incremental-rotation or linear encoders are very common, but normally they do not provide a direction signal. This design shows an easy way to detect forward or reverse direction. Incremental encoders ...

Rotary and linear optical encoders are common in position and motion sensing. Here, a disc or plate containing opaque and transparent segments passes between an LED and detector to interrupt a light ...

Tachometers directly report angular speed. Some are simple processors that merely digest output from an external sensor or encoder; others are integrated units that combine an encoder or sensor and a ...

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 ...
