The PST-360 rotary, through-hole position sensor combines a through-shaft design with 360º absolute position feedback in an extremely thin package. It incorporates a proprietary ring magnet with a ...

While standard optical encoders have traditionally been used to meet the needs of high-precision sensing and control applications (such as steering-wheel position detection or industrial motion ...

Avago Technologies has announced a series of compact non-contact magnetic encoders for use in industrial applications that operate in harsh conditions. Avago's AEAT-60xx series of magnetic encoders ...

A while back we featured a magnetic rotary encoder that [LongHairedHacker] designed. The heart of the system is an AS5043 magnetic rotary sensor which runs from $6.5-$11 and has a 10 bits precision.

ELECTRONICS: A new modular steel tape rotary encoder from RSF Elektronik is now available for measurement applications with diameters of 6 inches (150mm) to 6 ft (~2m). Named the MSR 40, this unique ...

SCHAUMBURG, IL--(Marketwired - November 17, 2015) - HEIDENHAIN has released its new series of encoders for potentially explosive atmospheres (ATEX), which meet the new standards required today for ...

Rotary encoders connect to a shaft and, as the shaft rotates, the encoder outputs pulses. These are used to determine the speed of the object. By counting the amount of pulses per one full turn of the ...
