Analog and digital optoelectronic sensors combine an LED and an optoelectronic integrated circuit in a compact package to enable optical encoders to provide absolute or incremental position detection ...

Avago Technologies, a leading supplier of analog interface components for communications, industrial and consumer applications, today announced three new high-voltage line drivers that augment its ...

Permanent-magnet brushless dc servomotors (PMBDCs) provide the highest continuous torque density and efficiency of any electric motors, which is why they are widespread. However, getting top ...

Gearless drives, also known as direct drives, are used in the elevator technology for their high torque at low rotation frequencies and their smooth and silent operation. Gearless drives, also known ...

Melexis has introduced a new inductive position-sensing chip aimed at robotics, industrial automation, and emerging mobility ...

When it comes to rotary encoders, there are plenty of options. Most of them involve putting a credit card number into an online vendor’s website, though, and that’s sometimes just not in the cards. In ...

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 ...

The right feedback sensor is a key in motion systems that do what they are supposed to. Incremental disks are simple, having only one track shared by two sensors. The sensors are mounted so their ...

JEC Europe 2014 – The PLSC-1000 is an 8-channel portable composite material speed and length counter designed specifically for use by R&D, testing, production and maintenance groups. A colour ...
