“Encoders are great for measuring rotation”, said Andy Zou, Product Manager at POSITAL, in a statement. “However, for many production processes, measurement of linear speed or position is ...

Unterpremstaetten, Austria The AS5305 magnetic linear motion encoder IC from austriamicrosystems targets linear motion and off-axis rotational measurements in applications such as industrial drives, x ...

POSITAL’s measuring wheel accessories for its IXARC family of rotary encoders enables these devices to make accurate linear motions and position measurements. “Encoders are great for measuring ...

A high resolution encoder allows measurement of linear position or speed without contact between the sensor head and scale. The Kübler Linear Measurement System senses movement via a magnetic scale ...

The AS5305 magnetic linear motion encoder IC makes linear-position measurements by sliding a single- or double-track multi-pole magnetic strip over the IC. Using a cost-effective single-track ...

Encoders described above are limited to measuring lengths of about 3 m or so. Encoders that measure longer distances contain scales made from steel tape. A typical tape is about 0.3 mm thick and ...

Featuring a postage-stamp-sized scanning unit along with high accuracy, Heidenhan’s incremental exposed linear encoders will likely fit the needs of stage manufacturers or anyone using linear ...

The TRP Tru-TracPro programmable incremental encoder is a versatile option for tracking velocity, position, or distance over a wide variety of surfaces at speeds of 3,000 feet per minute. With ...

Accuracy Older magnetostrictive sensors did not have the resolution and accuracy of better optical linear encoders. However, advancements in magnetostrictive technology over the years have now ...

This article presents a linear motor mover position detection method based on an image sample database to achieve high-precision measurement of the position of a long-stroke linear motor mover. First, ...
