Able to detect vertical distances over several millimeters, the 12-bit AS5046 magnetic rotary encoder offers rotation, tilt, and vertical-distance detection of a magnet placed above the IC. Combining ...

My previous blog Encoders Know All the Angles introduced encoders that provide information about rotary positions. A diagram illustrated the phase relationship of signals from an incremental encoder.

In terms of type, the rotary encoder segment led the MEA encoder market in 2019. Rotary encoders are electromechanical devices used to measure the rotational angle, number of rotations, and the ...

The A-62x PIglide RM Rotation Stage with Air Bearings features best value for wobble and flatness and one can reach high accuracy because of high-precision air bearing. The PIglide RM series of ...

In a project, repetitive tasks that break the flow of development work are incredibly tiresome and even simple automation can make a world of difference. [Simon Merrett] ran into exactly this while ...

Continuing his tradition of making bits of wire and scraps of wood work wonders, [HomoFaciens] is back with a unique and clever design for an electromechanical encoder. There are lots of ways to build ...
