What is a sine encoder (aka sine-cosine encoder)?
A sine encoder is similar to an incremental encoder in design and function. Both devices measure either rotary or linear position changes and direction, and both are available with either optical or magnetic sensing technology. The primary difference between the two is that sine encoders supply position and direction information as 1 Volt peak-to-peak (1 […]
Capacitive incremental encoders support shaft sizes to 5/8 in.
CUI’s Motion Group has added a new series to its AMT incremental encoder family designed to support larger motor shaft sizes from 9 mm to 15.875 mm (5/8 in.). The AMT13 series, based on CUI’s proprietary capacitive ASIC technology, brings the same high levels of durability, accuracy, and immunity to environmental particulates as current AMT […]
