They are installed not only in electrical linear motors, but also in pneumatic, hydraulic, ball-screw or power-grip belt drives and wherever high-accuracy, dynamic positioning tasks must be performed.

The fast update rate option, available for SSI and EtherCAT® protocols, fulfills high, dynamic requirements by shortening the cycle time for a measured value so the controller can read the absolute ...

You just finished the design of what is basically a fancy linear stage. Does your motor controller know exactly where the carriage is? Like, really where the carriage ...

NIDEC MACHINE TOOL CORP. has developed an electromagnetic-induction linear position detector that digitally detects machines' positioning, feed, and other information. With resolution and accuracy ...

A linear actuator combines linear-motion components and a linear shaft motor (direct drive) in one assembly. Such an actuator creates motion in a straight line, in contrast to the circular motion of a ...

Novotechnik U.S. introduces the TE1 Series of absolute linear position sensors, with integrated microprocessor and associated circuitry to provide signal conditioning for a current or voltage output ...

To run a stepper motor smoothly, it's necessary to apply linear acceleration. However, conventional algorithms to generate linear acceleration require complicated mathematics, which makes it difficult ...

Farrand's transducers can offer precise measurements of angular or linear position displacements. The rotary transducers are accurate down to ± 0.5 arc-sec or better, with resolution to 26 bits. The ...

Subsea environments are one of the most difficult areas for any sensor to perform, especially when performance life of as much as 20 years is expected in an underwater application. In subsea ...

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 ...
