Some designers continue to specify linear encoders for applications in which magnetostrictive sensors would work, the former is a familiar technology. However, as we'll explore, magnetostrictive ...

Position Sensors for Optical Encoders Enhance Resolution and Accuracy Analog and digital optoelectronic sensors combine an LED and an optoelectronic integrated circuit in a compact package to ...

Insights into the use of built-in accelerometers and additional sensors in encoders to enable predictive maintenance and condition monitoring while simplifying installation and cabling. The FOT ...

Get the most out of brushless dc motors by specifying optical encoders. They measure finer movements than hall sensors, because their operation doesn't rely on motor phases.

The PST-360 rotary, through-hole position sensor combines a through-shaft design with 360º absolute position feedback in an extremely thin package.

Bodenheim, Germany - iC-ML is an integrated magnetic linear position sensor / encoder assembled in a space-saving TSSOP20 package (6.6 x 6.4 x 1.1 mm).

A while back we featured a magnetic rotary encoder that [LongHairedHacker] designed. The heart of the system is an AS5043 magnetic rotary sensor which runs from $6.5-$11 and has a 10 bits ...

According to [Lee Teschler], the classic representation of encoders showing code rings is out of date. His post says that most industrial absolute encoders use a special magnetic sensor known as a … ...

MTS Systems' Sensors Division's magnetostrictive sensors now provide the performance level that make them preferable alternatives to linear encoders in certain applications.
