Special hardware can overcome software latency that may otherwise negate precise motion control. Precision motion control is virtually never an end in itself. Rather, it ties position to other events ...

• The new mantra of position encoding is low-current drain. • Capacitive encoding is a way to realize low-power consumption without giving up resolution or accuracy, even at relatively low speeds.

Faster and more robust, with black channel support for functional safety HEIDENHAIN CORPORATION announces EnDat 3, a new version of its popular absolute position encoder interface. The new EnDat 3 ...

That level of resolution is ideal for commutation, high-speed motor control, position/velocity control, and replacement of potentiometers and optical encoders. It’s a low-power 3.3-V (or 5-V) device, ...

C&K has launched an optical rotary encoder, the ENC Series 24-Position Optical Encoder with integrated pushbutton. The ENC Series encoder was developed as an improvement on the company's 16 Position ...

Besides having standard data channels, the RCM and RCH series of incremental rotary encoders are able to develop output signals for commutation of brushless motors. The optically derived commutation ...

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 application report offers a solution for obtaining high-resolution position with sin/cos encoders using the Texas Instrument (TI) TMS320F240 digital signal processor (DSP) controller. This is ...

POSITAL’s new 22 mm multiturn kit encoders clear the way to exciting new possibilities for miniature motors and drives. While motion feedback devices for small motors have previously been limited to ...
