Position encoders are sensors that, when used in industrial settings, produce critical motor information such as speed and position. The encoder delivers data for display or data that may serve as ...

HEIDENHAIN's new PressFit rotary encoders are uniquely designed for feedback and to ease mounting within small motors particularly during automated assembly. Developed in collaboration with global ...

An interesting trend in industrial motion control has been the replacement of self-contained encoders (rotation sensors with their own housing, bearings and shaft) with modular or “kit” encoders.

FORT WORTH, Texas, Sept. 10, 2025 /PRNewswire/ -- RS, a high-service global product and service solutions provider for ...

Direct-drive systems are firmly entrenched in the semiconductor and electronics-manufacturing industries, and are becoming increasingly common in the machine tool industry. Direct-drive systems offer ...

Encoder specialist POSITAL has expanded its line of kit-style encoders for feedback for servo and stepper motors with new models that utilize the same mounting form factor as incremental kit encoders ...

Rotary encoders are electromechanical transducers that convert angular displacement into corresponding electrical signals ...

This Design Idea combines a simple ISA-bus-resident interface circuit; a garden-variety PC; a high-resolution optical shaft encoder; and a PWM-controlled, 0.05-hp, brushed, permanent-magnet dc motor ...

With the introduction of its EES37 single turn encoder and EEM37 multiturn encoders, SICK has completed its product portfolio for HIPERFACE DSL® standard servo motor feedback systems, while achieving ...

Precisely tracking speed, acceleration, and position of a motor's rotor is an essential requirement for many motor control applications found in everyday equipment such as fax machines, elevators, and ...

We always think it is interesting that a regular DC motor and a generator are about the same thing. Sure, each is optimized for its purpose, but inefficiencies aside, you can use electricity to rotate ...
