Inductive sensors achieve fast response times. Changes in position or speed cause immediate alterations in the induced eddy currents, which directly affect the inductance of the sensor coil. This ...

Quantum Devices Inc. recently announced a new series of miniature incremental optical encoders. Each of the encoders in the QM22 series has a 22-mm diameter and 12.4-mm thickness. According to the ...

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 ...

CUI Inc has announced an addition to its next-generation modular encoder series that generates standard U/V/W commutation signals for vectoring current to brushless motors. CUI Inc. has announced an ...

CUI Devices’ Motion Group has introduced a new model to its AMT commutation encoder family that supports larger motor shaft sizes from 9 mm to 15.875 mm (5/8 inch). The AMT33 series generates standard ...

Alignment of optical encoder commutation signals to a Brushless DC (BLDC) motor could be thought of as being comparable to timing the distributor on a car engine. The distributor tells the spark plugs ...

Efficient Power Conversion Corporation (EPC) has introduced the EPC91120, a compact three-phase brushless DC (BLDC) motor ...

Capacitive-commutation techniques now replace optical and Hall-effect circuitry in brushless-dc motors. • Capacitive sensing offers low operating currents, broad programmability, excellent temperature ...

A new magnetic digital encoder featuring 14-bit resolution, differential outputs, and a speed range of up to 200-k e-RPM offers accurate and cost-effective position sensing for various robotic and ...

EBE Sensors+Motion has revised its manual handwheel rotary encoder, designed for precise adjustment of machines. Inside the encoder, called HR100, the 100 detent ‘clicks’ are created by magnetic ...
