The BML S2E rotary encoder is said to provide a high level of positional information for applications such as conveyors, speed control, and angle measurement. Rugged and easy to set up, the BML S2E is ...

A while back we featured a magnetic rotary encoder that [LongHairedHacker] designed. The heart of the system is an AS5043 magnetic rotary sensor which runs from $6.5-$11 and has a 10 bits precision.

Besides having standard data channels, the RCM and RCH series of incremental rotary encoders are able to develop output signals for commutation of brushless motors. The optically derived commutation ...

In robotics, movements must be precise and well-controlled. As robots are asked to do more as industry becomes more familiar with the technology, there will be an increasing need for high accuracy ...

Experimenting with an HF oscillator, I needed to control the varactor diode voltage in precise increments over a 2V-10V range. A buffered potentiometer was the obvious choice, and connecting two pots ...

The M-660 4.42-in.-diameter piezo motor rotary table can rotate at up to 720 deg/s and features a directly coupled precision optical encoder that resolves positions down to 4 µrad (0.00023°), ...

Since its establishment in 1998, Netzer Precision Position Sensors has been at the forefront of designing, manufacturing, and supplying high-quality absolute position encoders. Leveraging their ...

As you may have noticed, I’ve been working with an STM32 ARM CPU using Mbed. There was a time when Mbed was pretty simple, but a lot has changed since it has morphed into Mbed OS. Unfortunately, that ...

Angle measurement and calibration techniques are pivotal in ensuring the precision and accuracy of various engineering applications, from manufacturing and robotics to surveying and advanced medical ...

For those needing contamination-resistant encoders with functional safety (FS) for machine feedback, HEIDENHAIN introduces the ECM 2400 absolute modular magnetic angle encoder. Schaumburg, IL, April ...
