SCHAUMBURG, IL--(Marketwired - November 26, 2013) - HEIDENHAIN releases its newest addition to vacuum encoder technology with the LIP 400 series linear encoder system. Procedures using vacuum ...

Used as an alternative to optical encoders, the AS5311 Hall-effect-sensor-based linear magnetic encoder is presented as the first to offer submicron resolution. For linear motion sensing, a multipole ...

San Jose, Calif. — Avago Technologies says it has introduced the industry's first reflective encoder with an analog output. The AEDR-8320 high-resolution miniature surface-mount (SMT) optical encoder, ...

A typical linear encoder consists of a scanning unit and a scale. The scale is generally glass and is cemented to a support, usually an aluminum extrusion. The scanning unit contains a light source, ...

Optical or magnetic linear encoders are traditionally used to provide position feedback in applications with frequent product changes or and sophisticated machining. Linear encoders improve the ...

Incremental-rotation or linear encoders are very common, but normally they do not provide a direction signal. This design shows an easy way to detect forward or reverse direction. Incremental encoders ...

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 ...
