A typical linear encoder consists of a scanning unit and a scale. The scale is generally glass and is cemented to a support, usually an aluminum extrusion. The scanning unit contains a light source, ...

In industrial applications requiring high levels of precision, the position encoder impacts the velocity control and positioning of linear motors and results in quiet motor operation with less heat ...

Environment: A sensor can't do much better than enclose itself in stainless steel, which is the case with inductive encoders. These hard-headed sensors can stand up to vibration, shock, temperature ...

FIAMA's F7 position display unit incorporates a magnetic sensor that works together with a magnetic tape scale or a magnetic ring to measure linear and angular movements. The F7 is a 2018 IWF ...

Renishaw (www.renishaw.com) has developed new linear encoders that feature a special stainless steel scale, ultralow ±30 nm cyclic error, patented filtering optics and ±4μm accuracy to deliver the ...

Offering high reliability and safety, the LIC 4000 series linear position encoders integrate a multi-substrate scale tape with absolute encoder technology, which provides position immediately at ...

Used as an alternative to optical encoders, the AS5311 Hall-effect-sensor-based linear magnetic encoder is presented as the first to offer submicron resolution. For linear motion sensing, a multipole ...

12-bit universal magnetic position encoder IC includes linear Hall sensor array adapted to the targets’ magnetic pole pitch of 2 mm May 17, 2013 The iC-MHL200 from iC-Haus is a 12-bit IC for linear ...
