Compact 36-mm absolute rotary encoders with analog interface

November 16, 2021 By Miles Budimir Leave a Comment

encoders

The new AV3650M and AH3650M absolute rotary encoders from SIKO combine precise and reliable position measurement in an extremely compact housing. The absolute position values are transmitted via several integrated analog interfaces, such as 0 to 10 V, 0 to 5 V and 4 to 20 mA. These encoders use the magnetic measuring principal, with […]

Absolute encoder interfaces: Differences between SSI, BiSS, Hiperface, and EnDat

April 2, 2021 By Danielle Collins Leave a Comment

absolute encoder interfaces

Absolute encoders can communicate with controllers through parallel or serial wiring, over a fieldbus, or via an Ethernet-based protocol such as EtherCAT. Of these options, serial communication is a simpler solution than parallel wiring (which requires a twisted pair of wires for each bit of output) and is well-suited for applications that aren’t complex enough […]

Multiturn absolute encoders with line driver feature integrated referencing

February 11, 2021 By Miles Budimir Leave a Comment

encoders

In combination with brushless dc servomotors, the new magnetic AEMT-12/16 L absolute encoder from FAULHABER delivers absolute angle information with a preset multi-turn resolution of 16 bits (65,536 revolutions) and a single-turn resolution of 12 bits (4,096 steps) for commutation, speed control and motion control. This position data can be queried by an SSI Interface […]

Feedback on stepper motors for better positioning and holding (and less ringing)

January 15, 2021 By Lisa Eitel Leave a Comment

Feedback-equipped stepper motors are not a complete substitute for servomotors, but they can provide a reliable alternative for many real-world applications. These motion-design solutions improve machine performance without breaking the bank. By Jim Stevens • Product Specialist | POSITAL Inc. Stepper motors are a top choice for many motion and position control applications. They’re available […]

Diverse-redundant absolute encoders for safety-critical applications from POSITAL

June 30, 2020 By Miles Budimir Leave a Comment

encoders

Sensor manufacturer POSITAL has introduced an inexpensive and flexible alternative for safety-critical motion control systems. Supplementing its existing range of formally certified SIL safety encoders, the new ‘diverse-redundant absolute encoders’, based on non-certified standard components, are a suitable choice for many installations where functional safety is required. When combined with functional safety PLCs, these devices […]
