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 ...

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 ...

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 ...

This allows the heat to dissipate out the back, enhancing motor performance without increasing temperature requirements for the encoder. For example, in the KCI 1318 FOT and KBI 1335 FOT encoders, ...

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 ...

Kollmorgen’s AKM and AKM2G servo motors with the new SFD-M encoder, along with its AKD and AKD2G servo drives, are ...

QPT introduced MicroDyno, a low-voltage motor drive testbed that demonstrates the performance of ultra-high frequency ...

Robotics, conveying, filling, the lift industry, cut-to-length applications, robotics, and motor feedback are just a few industries that frequently use encoders.

With the introduction of its EES37 single turn encoder and EEM37 multiturn encoders, SICK has completed its product portfolio for HIPERFACE DSL® standard servo motor feedback systems, while achieving ...

The trick is to use two of the three unidirectional counters in the 82C54—one for each encoder-rotation direction. Reference 1 describes the logic involved in detail. This Design Idea expands upon the ...
