Analog and digital optoelectronic sensors combine an LED and an optoelectronic integrated circuit in a compact package to enable optical encoders to provide absolute or incremental position detection ...

Get the most out of brushless dc motors by specifying optical encoders. They measure finer movements than hall sensors, because their operation doesn't rely on motor phases. Brushless dc (BLDC) motors ...

Rotary encoders are indispensable tools for providing position feedback in many motion-control and automation processes. Lifts, overhead monorails, automated storage and retrieval systems, and cranes ...

Aura P is a high-resolution absolute encoder in a super-compact form-factor. Credit INMOCO The Aura P is presented in a connection-ready PCBA (printed circuit board assembly), enabling fast and easy ...

Optical sensors are successfully used for measurement in many areas, such as the position sensing of moving objects or the measurement of distance. The types of sensor elements used in these ...

New surface-mount optical sensors increase vertical headroom, enabling more flexible encoder and position-sensing designs across industrial and consumer electronics.

Encoders are a vital component in many applications that require motion control and feedback information. Whether a system’s requirement is speed, direction, or distance, an encoder produces control ...

Everyone has at least one extra mouse laying around; why not get some use out of it? Disassembling the mouse you can get two optical encoders plus four infrared emitter/detector pairs. Then you can ...

iC-Haus will demonstrate its latest 26bit resolution optical encoder IC at SPS next month in Nuremberg. iC-RT2624, as it will be known, is aimed at both housed and kit encoders, and will achieve its ...

Building a 3D motor printed motor is one thing, but creating a completely custom servo motor with encoder requires some significant engineering. In the video after the break [365 Robots] takes us ...

This Design Idea utilizes an optical computer mouse's sensor for measuring rotation of a disk which can be mechanically connected to any sort of rotating apparatus. One feature is to allow adjustment ...
