Rotary encoders play an important role in the wind industry by providing the high resolution feedback necessary to run the very dynamic control systems of today’s turbines. Selecting the correct ...

The IXARC magnetic encoders for safety-critical systems from POSITAL feature redundant measurement elements and are certified to Safety Integrity Level 2 (SIL 2) and Performance Level d (PL d). They ...

Experimenting with an HF oscillator, I needed to control the varactor diode voltage in precise increments over a 2V-10V range. A buffered potentiometer was the obvious choice, and connecting two pots ...

HEIDENHAIN is expanding its range of absolute rotary encoders by introducing new devices with the SSI interface into its current 1000 series. With the introduction of the ECN 1013, EQN 1025, ROC 1013 ...

Rotary encoders are electromechanical devices used for sensing in myriad applications—on motors paired with drives and automated machinery for everything from consumer electronics, elevators, and ...

Optocode (OCD) rotary encoders target motion-control systems that operate in harsh environments. Seals on the shaft and electrical connections are IP67 rated for dust and moisture protection. The ...

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 ...
