Rotary and linear optical encoders are common in position and motion sensing. Here, a disc or plate containing opaque and transparent segments passes between an LED and detector to interrupt a light ...

CAMBRIDGE, UK — The MES3 series is CUI's latest line of high performance micro optical encoders, the world’s smallest shaft-type optical encoder according to the company. The MES3 has a 5-mm body ...

Fabless chip maker CambridgeIC has improved the accuracy and speed of its non-contact position sensing technology. Implemented in the firm’s CAM502 chip, it uses resonant inductive sensors to deliver ...

Alignment of optical encoder commutation signals to a Brushless DC (BLDC) motor could be thought of as being comparable to timing the distributor on a car engine. The distributor tells the spark plugs ...

Encoders are a vital component in many applications that require motion control and feedback information. Whether a system’s requirement is speed, direction, or distance, an encoder produces control ...

The Series 62AG optical encoder consists of 100% hard-tooled parts and uses light-pipe technology for optical switching. The device generates a 2-bit digital output that measures the magnitude and ...

iC-Haus will demonstrate its latest 26bit resolution optical encoder IC at SPS next month in Nuremberg. iC-RT2624, as it will be known, is aimed at both housed and kit encoders, and will achieve its ...
