The rotary encoder family from austriamicrosystems has two new members, the AS5030 and the AS5130, which are 8-bit absolute magnetic encoder ICs that feature pushbutton and low-power-mode capabilities ...

This encoder has a passive design and runs at temperatures from -60 to 150C, runs farther than copper encoder links by up to 1,000m, is immune to lightning and high-voltage static or plasma fields, ...

Rotary encoders are typicallyused in positioning systems withservo feedback in which the cost of theencoder usually is of minor importance.Encoders, however, are also usedin user interfaces to encode ...

MUNICH, Germany Austriamicrosystems (AMS) has expanded its magnetic rotary encoder portfolio with the AS5145, a 12-bit encoder IC especially designed for the growing demands in automotive. The device ...

Industries have different uses and requirements for controls and positioning. Encoders are critical to the production of advanced electronics, one of the fastest growing and advancing industries in ...

HEIDENHAIN is meeting the market demand for high-speed, high-resolution modular rotary encoders for motion feedback with the launch of the ERO 2000 series encoder.

These encoders are available in both incremental and absolute variants and are offered with optical or magnetic measurement systems. Optical encoders are suited for high-precision applications, ...

Designed for high-resolution, space-restricted applications, the RHI58 series incremental rotary encoders come in an industry-standard, 58-mm diameter housing with a mounting profile of less than 2".

[Long Haired Hacker] has undertaken a high-resolution 3D printer build. He got his hands on some motors to drive the build platform but it doesn’t have a built-in encoder. He knows that optical ...
