As you may have noticed, I’ve been working with an STM32 ARM CPU using Mbed. There was a time when Mbed was pretty simple, but a lot has changed since it has morphed into Mbed OS. Unfortunately, that ...

I wrote a bit of VHDL for generating inc/dec pulses from quadrature rotary encoders like the CTS Electrocomponents ones I bought from Digikey for a project I worked on recently. This debounce circuit ...

The AS5035 8-bit magnetic rotary encoder provides incremental quadrature A/B output as well as an index output. The part offers 64 pulses per revolution and operates at rotational speeds up to 10,000 ...

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 ...

UNTERPREMSTAETTEN, Austria--(BUSINESS WIRE)--The new AS5601 contactless rotary position sensor from ams AG (SIX: AMS), a leading provider of high performance analog ICs and sensors, gives designers an ...

Encoders are the most widely used feedback devices for electric motor control, capable of delivering precise position and speed feedback for closed-loop performance. With numerous technology options ...

The ZB series of shaft encoders are general duty industrial rotary pulse generators with up to 1000 PPR for high-resolution precision counting or speed measurement. The ZB series of shaft encoders are ...

Utilizing an advanced technology, the Sine/Cosine Rotary Electric Encoder promises a non-contacting, full-rotation absolute output with no index pulse, no quadrature issues, and no need for homing at ...

For engineers working on precision alignment, inspection and multi-axis motion control, the new AK170-24 Goniometer Stage ...

This article is part of the Ideas for Design Series: Vol. 3, No. 8. In many applications, accurately sensing the position of an electrically controlled mechanical device such as a motor is critical.

If you are a novice to rotary encoders for human-machine interface, there is a potential pit-fall. Otherwise called quadrature encoders, they deliver two-bit gray-scale binary on rotation, with the ...
