Oriental Motor of Japan is offering stepper motors with battery-free multi-turn absolute position encoding that can ride through power-loss. Oriental Motor of Japan is offering stepper motors with ...

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 ...

Position encoders are sensors that, when used in industrial settings, produce critical motor information such as speed and position. The encoder delivers data for display or data that may serve as ...

POSITAL has introduced a series of measuring wheel accessories for its IXARC family of rotary encoders. When one of these wheels is mounted on the shaft of an encoder, the result is an accurate and ...

The MR318 from Micronor is an MRI-compatible fiber-optic rotary encoder that can function both as an incremental and absolute position encoder. A new encoder is the world's first and only commercially ...
