All-optical part supports 1,000-m lengths, and resists EMI/RFI, lightning and static Suiting rotation-sensing applications, the MR312 ZapFree incremental rotary encoder is presented as the industry's ...

Rotary encoders are electromechanical devices used for sensing in myriad applications—on motors paired with drives and automated machinery for everything from consumer electronics, elevators, and ...

To keep up with the growing demands of the industry, HEIDENHAIN has increased the functionality of its PROFIBUS rotary encoders. To keep up with the growing demands of the industry, HEIDENHAIN has ...

A new combined interface for Optocode absolute rotary encoders allows simultaneous communication of both absolute and incremental rotary position data. The interface provides cost-effective ...

HEIDENHAIN is proud to announce the addition of its new slim-design ECI 1118 rotary encoder to its expansive product line. With a thickness of only 10mm and a diameter just less than 37mm, the new ...

The encoders’ special properties are that they have a very compact design, excellent signal quality and therefore high interpolation rates, as well as excellent thermal position stability. The ...

Because encoders limit the number of controls required to increase functionality, they reduce the real estate needed in a given piece of equipment and, in turn, can reduce the point of focus or ...

Quantum Devices Inc. recently announced a new series of miniature incremental optical encoders. Each of the encoders in the QM22 series has a 22-mm diameter and 12.4-mm thickness. According to the ...

Adafruit has made an I2C interface for four rotary encoders. It comes in the form of a PCB with four footprints that accept one of the most common rotary encoder forms (Bournes PEC11 horizontal style) ...

MR318 is the world's first commercially-available rotaryposition sensor which can operate with complete "transparency" inextreme electromagnetic fields such as MRI machines. An enabler for ...

Is it really possible to build a rotary encoder out of a flattened tin can and a couple of photodetectors? Sure it’s possible, but what kind of resolution are you going to get from such a contraption?
