To turn that principle into a practical linear sensor, [Florian B.] used nickel wire stretched tightly down the middle of a PVC tube. At one end is a coil of copper magnet wire, while the other ...

The sensors can be utilized as encoders because they offer the performance and reliability needed for dynamic closed-loop control. They provide continuous, precise position feedback that permits ...

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 ...

Bodenheim, Germany – iC-ML is an integrated magnetic linear position sensor / encoder assembled in a space-saving TSSOP20 package (6.6 x 6.4 x 1.1 mm). The circuit contains four Hall sensors for the ...

The iC-MHL200 from iC-Haus is a 12-bit IC for linear and angular magnetic encoder applications. Housed in a TSSOP20 package, the chip includes a linear Hall sensor array which is adapted to the ...

The SIKO MagLine Encoder MSA111C features DRIVE-CLiQ [1] interface and SIL2. The sensor has been tested and certified as SIL 2 compliant according to EN 61508, performance level ‘d’, category 3 ...

They also find use as motionfeedback sensors in high-speed positioning systems using linear servomotors. There is a wide assortment of linear-encoder technologies from which to choose.

Optical encoders are nothing new; they can be found in everything from mice to printers. They’re great for allowing DC motors to know their exact position and even current direction. If this … ...
