Today's consumer devices are defined by portability. However, where these designs incorporate movement, how do product engineers integrate feedback? In portable medical applications, reflective ...

This article discusses a magnetic encoder intended for electrical motor driving employing ATS605LSG. It includes the advantages of magnetic encoder, guidelines for motor driving, general applications ...

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 ...

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 ...

System on Chip design is driven by complex consumer devices that rely on standard algorithms such as H.264, WiMax, or JPEG for their defining capabilities. These reference standards allow room for ...

Optical encoders have been used to measure position, speed, acceleration and motion direction for decades, but now they are finding new applications where high performance and miniaturization are ...

HEIDENHAIN is proud to announce the addition of its new slim-design ECI 1118 rotary encoder to its expansive product line. With a thickness of only 10mm and a diameter just less than 37mm, the new ...

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 ...
