Having an enclosed 3D printer can make a huge difference when printing certain filaments that are prone to warping. It’s easy enough to build an enclosure to stick your own printer in, but ...

The new SH150 is Industrial Encoder Corp.’s largest sine-cosine hollow shaft encoder, featuring a 150 mm housing and a 60–100 mm bore range. Ideal for servo drives, robotics and automation. ST.

Rotary encoders are electromechanical transducers that convert angular displacement into corresponding electrical signals interpretable by digital systems. This article specifically focuses on panel ...

Same Sky has created an absolute encoder family for motor shafts from 9 to 15.875mm (5/8inch). Called AMT25 and said to be accurate to ±0.2°, the family relies on the same in-house capacitive ASIC for ...

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 ...

Part 1 of this FAQ looked at the optical rotary encoder, a low-cost, high-resolution, easy-to-use sensor for indicating incremental shaft position (although it can be “upgraded” to indicate absolute ...

Manufacturers need encoders, but they don’t really want to think about them. Encoders are arguably one of the most necessary sensors in manufacturing, but many aren’t sure what to consider when ...
