Used as an alternative to optical encoders, the AS5311 Hall-effect-sensor-based linear magnetic encoder is presented as the first to offer submicron resolution. For linear motion sensing, a multipole ...

The FOT variants of the KCI 1300 inductive encoders from Heidenhain can also serve as a bearing cover. A growing trend in encoder technology is the integration of additional sensors to add diagnostic ...

Analog and digital optoelectronic sensors combine an LED and an optoelectronic integrated circuit in a compact package to enable optical encoders to provide absolute or incremental position detection ...

Every once in a while we stumble across something so simple yet so clever that we just have to call it out. This custom linear Hall effect sensor is a perfect example of this. By way of backstory, ...

In robotics, movements must be precise and well-controlled. As robots are asked to do more as industry becomes more familiar with the technology, there will be an increasing need for high accuracy ...
