This article discusses a magnetic encoder intended for electrical motor driving employing ATS605LSG. It includes the advantages of magnetic encoder, guidelines for motor driving, general applications ...

Why are there so many different angle encoders on the market? Why do they use different scanning and measuring methods? And which one should a designer choose? To answer those questions, engineers at ...

A quadrature encoder provides a way to let hardware read movement (and direction) of a shaft, and they can be simple, effective, and inexpensive devices. But [Paulo Marques] observed that when it ...

Engineers at BEI Kimco Magnetics, Vista, Calif. (beikimco.com), put together an encoder equipped with a relatively large-diameter clear aperture and a motor to come up with an Integrated Motor Encoder ...

Alignment of optical encoder commutation signals to a Brushless DC (BLDC) motor could be thought of as being comparable to timing the distributor on a car engine. The distributor tells the spark plugs ...

Position encoders are sensors that, when used in industrial settings, produce critical motor information such as speed and position. The encoder delivers data for display or data that may serve as ...

The new SilverPak 23DE, an integrated Nema 23, High Torque, 1.8° bipolar step motor, microstepping driver and encoder is designed to reduce overall design time and system cost for a wide array of step ...

We always think it is interesting that a regular DC motor and a generator are about the same thing. Sure, each is optimized for its purpose, but inefficiencies aside, you can use electricity to rotate ...

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 ...

Introducing the ENX 16 RIO encoder: maxon motor presents a top-of-the-range high-resolution encoder. The ENX 16 RIO offers an impressive resolution of up to 65,536 counts per turn in a compact and ...
