Same Sky has created an absolute encoder family for motor shafts from 9 to 15.875mm (5/8inch). Called AMT25 and said to be accurate to ±0.2°, the family relies on the same in-house capacitive ASIC for ...

Multiple quadrature encoder support: Mixed-signal FPGAs also offer another benefit for motor control – the capability of driving multiple motors (axles) simultaneously with single mixed-signal device.

Melexis is aiming at electric motors with family of angle-sensing absolute magnetic encoder ICs that can work at high speed and typically deliver 1° accuracy or better. “By detecting the three ...

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 ...

If you have a motor and you’d like to know where the shaft position is, you are likely to turn to an optical encoder scheme. However, as [lingib] points out, you can also use a magnet and a ...

We always think it is interesting that a regular DC motor and a generator are about the same thing. Sure, each is optimized for its purpose, but inefficiencies aside, you can use electricity to rot… ...

Although integrated motor feedback is taking a growing share of the market for motion control systems, the future for standalone encoders continues to look bright.

PI introduces a new high dynamics linear motor stage family, the V-574 - a new series of linear positioning stages with excellent guiding precision and frictionless 3-phase linear motors.

Precisely tracking speed, acceleration, and position of a motor's rotor is an essential requirement for many motor control applications found in everyday equipment such as fax machines, elevators, and ...
