Most of the hacks we see around these parts have to do with taking existing components and cobbling them together in interesting new ways. It’s less often that we see existing components gutted and ...

Austriamicrosystems announces new 2-Dimensional Hall-sensor IC for human-machine interfaces. Austriamicrosystems has announced the AS5013, a contactless magnetic encoder IC that monitors the ...

Available in 10- or 12-bit resolutions, the AEAT-60xx magnetic-encoder series suits angular detection within 360°. The encoders features absolute-angle detection upon power-up with a 0.35° resolution ...

Optical or magnetic linear encoders handle high-res needs in dirty jobs. Linear encoders help minimize errors in motion transmission such as backlash, hysteresis, abbe errors, ball-screw thermal ...

Stating performance advantages over traditional optical encoders and potentiometers, the ED Series magnetic encoders forecast more robust sensor-system designs at lower total costs. The components ...

Rotational magnetic encoders have been developed that convert mechanical rotary motion into a digital pulse stream. The encoders use newly available solid-state magnetic rotary encoding technology, ...

POSITAL has launched a major upgrade to its IXARC family of incremental rotary encoders. These encoders feature new magnetic sensor technology and more energy-efficient embedded microcontrollers .

Last year, Automation World examined the differences between accuracy, resolution, and precision in the encoder world. And while understanding the differences among these terms is important to ...
