A guide for engineers balancing performance, reliability, and manufacturability across today’s smart systems By Barry Brents, ...

Lika Electronic offers a comprehensive range of housed and unhoused absolute modular encoders. These encoders excel in their miniature size, minimal weight, and high resolution. Furthermore, both the ...

In 1845, Michael Faraday discovered what’s known today as the Faraday Effect—which describes how light and electromagnetism are related. A new study revealed that the magnetic component of light ...

Hi, I'm Bill. I'm a software developer with a passion for making and electronics. I do a lot of things and here is where I document my learning in order to be able to inspire other people to make ...

Ever tear open a potentiometer? If you haven’t, you can still probably guess what’s inside. A streak of resistive material with some kind of contact that moves across it as you rotate the shaft, right ...

Posital has enhanced its IXARC family of incremental magnetic rotary encoders, increasing the maximum resolution to 32,768 pulses per revolution (PPR). This upgrade also includes new phasing options, ...

Precision of rotational and linear measurement underpins motion control systems, and optical encoders are a mainstay in delivering this. Converting mechanical motion into digital signals enables ...

If you are using your smartphone to navigate, your system just got a crucial update. Scientists have released a new model tracking the position of the magnetic north pole, revealing that the pole is ...
