Absolute rotary encoders make omnidirectional motion a VR reality

September 27, 2022 By Rachael Pasini Leave a Comment

HEIDENHAIN Infinadeck motion application

Encoders are critical motion control components that provide feedback on a system’s position and speed. They are used in almost every industry — such as aerospace, robotics, packaging, and textiles — and are building traction in virtual reality (VR) treadmills. VR treadmills let users physically move in real-life space while navigating virtual environments. But unlike […]

New inductive encoders for challenging machine environments from Leine Linde

February 24, 2022 By Miles Budimir Leave a Comment

encoders

With innovative new features designed into the already-robust line of Leine Linde rotary encoders, the new M500 encoders are now making their debut. These bearing-less inductive encoders promise machine manufactures and owners high life expectancy, as well as increased motion control performance in extreme environments and often in a smaller, lighter size. Several variants of […]

How do Hall effect sensors work and where are they used in motion applications?

September 21, 2021 By Danielle Collins Leave a Comment

Hall effect

The Hall effect is an outcome of the Lorentz force at work. When a thin conductor (or semiconductor) has a steady flow of current running through it and a magnet is placed so that its magnetic field runs perpendicular to this current, the magnetic field of the current reacts to the magnetic field of the […]

What to consider when choosing a rotary encoder

September 20, 2021 By Danielle Collins Leave a Comment

rotary encoder

Controlled servo drives are used in many areas of automation technology, converting, printing, handling, and robotics, including production machines and machine tools. The selection of a rotary encoder or encoder technology for use within the system depends on the accuracy requirements of the application and whether the application will use position control, velocity control, or both. […]
