BEDFORD, Mass. — Celera Motion, a business unit of Novanta Inc., announced new sizes and capabilities for its Aura TM Absolute Chip Encoder Series of rotary and linear optical encoders with MicroE ...

This application note describes the capabilities of HEDS-8949/HEDS-8969 alignment software, code wheel setup, and the alignment of an AEAT-9000-1GSH0 and AEAT-9000-1GSH1 absolute encoder. Both of the ...

The latest episode “Made in the USA” podcast explores a company that uses collaborative robots, one of the key tools helping US machine shops and other manufacturers compete with lower cost countries ...

Rotary encoders sense changes in the position of a rotating shaft, then generate signals that send speed, direction, and position information to a receiving device such as a counter, drive, or ...

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 ...

Intended for space-constrained motion-sensing applications such as robotics, brushless dc motors, and automotive drive-by-wire applications, the AS5040 is presented as the smallest multiple-output ...

Rotary encoders connect to a shaft and, as the shaft rotates, the encoder outputs pulses. These are used to determine the speed of the object. By counting the amount of pulses per one full turn of the ...

Rotary encoders convert rotary movement or angular position into analogue or digital signals for use in measurement or control systems. They can be classified in a number of ways, primarily by the ...

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 ...
