Knobs are ubiquitous in technology user interfaces, but touchscreens are increasingly replacing them for interface controls. The latest project from [upir] combines a rotating knob with a touchscreen ...

The project is based around the AS5040 chip that uses a magnet to provide positional feedback information and 10 bits of resolution per rotation. The project is based around the AS5040 chip that uses ...

From robotics and medical devices to green energy and automation, RLS magnetic encoders deliver precise motion control across countless industries. Our rotary encoders achieve accuracies down to ±44 ...

These IXARC magnetic encoders withstand harsh environments and are modular for maximum versatility. Rotary encoders measure the rotation of machine shafts and report the results to electronic controls ...

Magnetic Encoders are acknowledged as one of the most efficient ways of measuring rotation angles in many motion control applications be they stationary or mobile. As co-inventors and a pioneer of the ...

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 ...

Encoders are a vital component in many applications that require motion control and feedback information. Whether a system’s requirement is speed, direction, or distance, an encoder produces control ...

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 ...

Why are there so many different angle encoders on the market? Why do they use different scanning and measuring methods? And which one should a designer choose? To answer those questions, engineers at ...

Optical encoders and transducers enable users to translate information from one code to another. Optical encoders come in different varieties including rotary encoders and linear encoders. The optical ...
