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 ...

The Rock-Tenn paperboard mill in Aurora, Ill., automated the positioning and tensioning of belts on its conveyor system with low-cost motors and drives paired with absolute encoders. When the ...

Rotary encoders are indispensable tools for providing position feedback in many motion-control and automation processes. Lifts, overhead monorails, automated storage and retrieval systems, and cranes ...

Pepperl+Fuchs has developed a new generation of positioning systems that-for the very first time-achieve SIL 3/PLe compliance with a single sensor, making them uniquely safe and highly efficient.

Robotic designs that operate autonomously or alongside human workers offer convenience, efficiency and accuracy, greatly benefiting the manufacturing and industrial sectors. Here, monitoring motor ...

This sensor driver/receiver IC uses PCB-based differential sensing coils and sophisticated topology to provide high accuracy and noise immunity in harsh environments. There’s a large gap between the ...
