A quadrature encoder uses two output channels offset in phase to detect both direction and position with greater precision.

The new SH150 is Industrial Encoder Corp.’s largest sine-cosine hollow shaft encoder, featuring a 150 mm housing and a 60–100 ...

Robots are developed for a wide variety of uses. These include assembly, welding, monitoring marine life, rescue and recovery and even vacuuming the floor. Because of this, there is a multitude of ...

The company is currently in the process of developing an absolute encoder employing its proprietary DAPS (Digital Angular Position Sensor) technology. Available with multiple output configurations, ...

Inductive sensors achieve fast response times. Changes in position or speed cause immediate alterations in the induced eddy ...

Tired of encoders that take space and need maintenance? A sensor design makes motion systems smaller and easier to use.

Optical or magnetic linear encoders are traditionally used to provide position feedback in applications with frequent product changes or and sophisticated machining. Linear encoders improve the ...

Cornell researchers have created a fiber-optic sensor utilizing inexpensive LEDs and dyes that resulted in a stretchable skin-like material able to detect deformations, including pressure, bending, ...

Imagine walking in an area unknown to you — blindfolded. The chances that you are going to hit something are very high. And that’s exactly what robots would face if not equipped with sensors. Using ...

The sensors can be utilized as encoders because they offer the performance and reliability needed for dynamic closed-loop control. They provide continuous, precise position feedback that permits ...
