The other day we had a big problem. The Saddle feeder's speed control was done by a hydraulic device which consists of a wheel having a complete 360 degree rotation representing from zero speed to ...

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 ...

Leine & Linde’s 800 rotary encoder series now includes an integrated over-speed capability with programmable switching speeds. In many industrial applications like wind turbines, steel plants or ...

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 ...

Rotary encoders sense changes in the position of a rotating shaft, then generate signals that send speed, direction, and position information to a receiving device such as a counter, drive, or ...

Absolute encoders using optical technology often face limitations in resolution and size. For example, to achieve a higher resolution of up to 16-bits, the absolute encoder has to be combined with an ...

Industries have different uses and requirements for controls and positioning. Encoders are critical to the production of advanced electronics, one of the fastest growing and advancing industries in ...

The digital volume control published in Elektor Electronics October 1997 can be used either with an RC5 remote control or with two pushbuttons (louder/softer). If for whatever reason you cannot do ...

Abstract: Emerging applications, such as turbo-electric aircrafts, require electrical machines with increasingly high rotation speeds (> 100 krpm) to achieve targeted power densities and direct drive ...

Elma Electronic Inc. now offers a miniature rotary encoder that includes an illuminated 8+1 joystick, enabling seamless, accurate control using just one finger. Elma Electronic Inc. now offers a ...
