However, design engineers are increasingly replacing encoders with magnetostrictive linear position sensors to improve productivity and lower cost of ownership. The latest magnetostrictive sensors ...

The German sensor-maker Sick Sensor Intelligence has announced a new generation of absolute encoders designed to help deliver higher machine and system productivity. Available in single- and ...

Multipole magnets make a good match for new noncontact high-resolution magnetic encoders for accurate linear and off-axis rotary sensing. These sensors (developed by Austriamicrosystems ...

POSITAL’s measuring wheel accessories for its IXARC family of rotary encoders enables these devices to make accurate linear motions and position measurements. “Encoders are great for measuring ...

This resulted in the need for a linear sensor 100 mm in length, the specs for which — absolute sensing, no brushes or encoders, easily sourced parts — precluded most of the available ...

Implemented in the firm’s CAM502 chip, it uses resonant inductive sensors to deliver 5,000 position sample/s, either linear or angular and 14 bits ... Unlike optical encoders, company founder David ...
