Fabless chip maker CambridgeIC has improved the accuracy and speed of its non-contact position sensing technology. Implemented in the firm’s CAM502 chip, it uses resonant inductive sensors to deliver ...

Noncontact magnetic rotary encoders are hard to beat when it comes to measuring rotary motion in machinery, as they are relatively small, strong, and inexpensive devices compared to traditional ...

Encoders are a vital component in many applications that require motion control and feedback information. Whether a system’s requirement is speed, direction, or distance, an encoder produces control ...

The PST-360 rotary, through-hole position sensor combines a through-shaft design with 360º absolute position feedback in an extremely thin package. It incorporates a proprietary ring magnet with a ...

This file type includes high resolution graphics and schematics when applicable. Rotary encoders track motor shaft movement for myriad pieces of industrial equipment and commercial devices. For ...

Melexis is aiming at electric motors with family of angle-sensing absolute magnetic encoder ICs that can work at high speed and typically deliver 1° accuracy or better. “By detecting the three ...

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 ...

A new advance in vibration monitoring, developed with EPRI, facilitates the measurement of torsional vibration and is expected to be of significant value to power plants relying on a wide range of ...

A quadrature encoder uses two output channels offset in phase to detect both direction and position with greater precision.
