Encoders are widely used in the motion control and automation industry to monitor the position and speed of motors. This information can be used by the motion control electronics to detect if the ...

Rotary encoders provide critical information about a motor shaft’s position, rotational direction, velocity (rpm), and acceleration. They are vital components in motion-control feedback loops used in ...

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 ...

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 ...

Schaumburg, IL, June 09, 2020 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- For those needing Functionally Safety-rated (FS) contamination-resistant encoders for machine feedback, AMO - a HEIDENHAIN brand - introduces FS ...

If you have a motor and you’d like to know where the shaft position is, you are likely to turn to an optical encoder scheme. However, as [lingib] points out, you can also use a magnet and a ...

This application note describes the Quadrature Encoder peripheral on the Z32F128 device and provides two examples of peripheral usage. The quadrature encoder decodes the signals received from an ...

HEIDENHAIN is pleased to announce the addition of an exciting new product – the AMO LMF 9310 multi-section linear encoder - to its line of robust linear encoders. The AMO LMF 9310 is an excellent ...
