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 ...

With an outside diameter of 2.5”, the HS25 industrial-grade hollow-shaft encoder is designed to accommodate standard motor shafts of 5/8” diameter. The unit is rugged and sealed for use in industrial ...

The electric motor is the fundamental building block of almost all robotic projects but, without some form of feedback, it lacks the precise positional control required for the task. Small servos from ...

An interesting trend in industrial motion control has been the replacement of self-contained encoders (rotation sensors with their own housing, bearings and shaft) with modular or “kit” encoders.

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 ...

The objective of this note is to provide a step-by-step manual assembly guide for the alignment and installation of the AEAT-601x magnetic encoder to a motor shaft. In this first release only a 6 mm ...
