Some designers continue to specify linear encoders for applications in which magnetostrictive sensors would work, the former is a familiar technology. However, as we'll explore, magnetostrictive ...

Insights into the use of built-in accelerometers and additional sensors in encoders to enable predictive maintenance and condition monitoring while simplifying installation and cabling. The FOT ...

A while back we featured a magnetic rotary encoder that [LongHairedHacker] designed. The heart of the system is an AS5043 magnetic rotary sensor which runs from $6.5-$11 and has a 10 bits ...

Magnetocode (MCD) absolute rotary encoders from FRABA Inc.'s POSITAL unit, Hamilton, N.J., employ dual technologies for super-accurate positional feedback — a two-axis Hall effect sensor that ...

The sensor IC measures the vertical field components, Bz, and calculates an absolute angle value. About the author: Marcel Urban joined austriamicrosystems in 2000 as a design engineer working encoder ...

The most common way was to simply push a wheel against the spool or the filament itself, the rotation of which can easily be detected through a rotary encoder or Hall-effect sensor.

The PST-360 rotary, through-hole position sensor combines a through-shaft design with 360º absolute position feedback in an extremely thin package.

MTS Systems' Sensors Division's magnetostrictive sensors now provide the performance level that make them preferable alternatives to linear encoders in certain applications.
