In aviation the term fly-by-wire means that the control surfaces of an aircraft are operated by actuators rather than via cables and rods, with electrical signals transmitting information from the ...

Understanding the fundamentals is key to a tailor-made solution. This is the first of a two-part series. Part 2 can be found here. Encoders play an integral role in almost every mechanical system that ...

[Scott Rumschlag] wanted a way to precisely map interior spaces for remodeling projects, but did not want to deal with the massive datasets created by optical 3D scanning, and found the precision of ...

Renesas Electronics Corporation introduced a new family of magnet-free inductive position sensor (IPS) ICs that can be fully ...

Developed specifically for mechanical drive and lift-engineering applications, the RHI90N series incremental rotary encoders provide high accuracy with pulse counts up to 2,500 ppr at 10- to 30-Vdc ...

Offered as the industry's first DIN-rail mountable, optically isolated, electronic module designed specifically for use with incremental encoders, isolation circuitry in this module acts as an encoder ...

A Purdue University-connected startup has received federal funding to innovate an industry projected to reach $4.4 billion by 2028. The funding will be used to improve the manufacture of sensors used ...

Purdue University alumnus Sergey Zakharov, co-founder and chief technology officer of ZS Instruments, holds an optical encoder wafer created by a prototype of the company’s novel technology. ZS ...
