Why are there so many different angle encoders on the market? Why do they use different scanning and measuring methods? And which one should a designer choose? To answer those questions, engineers at ...

Engineers at BEI Kimco Magnetics, Vista, Calif. (beikimco.com), put together an encoder equipped with a relatively large-diameter clear aperture and a motor to come up with an Integrated Motor Encoder ...

Position encoders are sensors that, when used in industrial settings, produce critical motor information such as speed and position. The encoder delivers data for display or data that may serve as ...

The new SC Series from Nanotec Electronic is an out-of-the-box combination of a stepper motor with an optical encoder. The new SC Series from Nanotec Electronic is an out-of-the-box combination of a ...

In robotics, movements must be precise and well-controlled. As robots are asked to do more as industry becomes more familiar with the technology, there will be an increasing need for high accuracy ...

If you have a brushless motor, you have some magnets, a bunch of coils arranged in a circle, and theoretically, all the parts you need to build a rotary encoder. A lot of people have used brushless or ...

A brushless-DC motor is common in ceiling fan and pan-tilt-zoom (PTZ) camera designs. But you can’t use the same brushless-DC motor solution for both of these end products. A ceiling fan driver ...
