Munich, Germany – Austriamicrosystems expanded its magnetic sensor product portfolio to include the AS5304 and AS5306, two high performance linear Hall sensor ICs. They feature a new line of magnetic ...

Austriamicrosystems (AMS) has introduced two linear magnetic incremental encoder ICs for motion control applications. “The measurement performance and reliability of motion control systems employing ...

Manufacturers have also developed special-purpose ICs that handle tasks needed to implement both closed-loop motion control and motor speed control. Presently, three chips are available for ...

The LS7082N1, LS7083N, LS7084N, LS7183N and LS7184N quadrature clock converters interface incremental encoders to counting devices by converting outputs into up/down clocks or clock and direction ...

Austriamicrosystems has introduced an 8-bit incremental magnetic rotary encoder for industrial and automotive applications. The AS5035 provides incremental quadrature A/B output signals and an index ...

Providing an alternative to optical encoders, the AS5304 and AS5306 start-and-play, incremental linear magnetic encoders target motion control applications in harsh environments. The chips require no ...

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 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 ...

Last year, Automation World examined the differences between accuracy, resolution, and precision in the encoder world. And while understanding the differences among these terms is important to ...
