New rotary magnetic encoders from Novotechnik feature 16-bit resolution
The new Vert-X 51 Series of rotary magnetic encoders from Novotechnik U.S. features up to 16-bit resolution and repeatability to 0.1°, depending on the model. The measurement range of the Vert-X 51 Series is 0 to 360° and physical measurements of the housing are 30 x 50 mm. These encoders are ideal for harsh environments […]
FAQ: How do I pick between rotary and linear encoders?
Edited by Zak Khan || It may seem as though linear encoders and rotary encoders have strictly defined (and maybe even mutually exclusive) applications. Prevailing logic is that linear encoders track linear motion and rotary encoders track rotating shafts — but this isn’t always the case. Some motion designs can use linear or rotary encoders, […]
How to program smart encoders and their diagnostics
Edited by Zak Khan || Smart encoders are encoders that contain hardware and associated software that let them dynamically change settings such as resolution and output circuit type. So one model of smart encoder can often replace many different models of traditional encoders. Read the related encoder FAQ: Why do some encoders have embedded microprocessors for signal […]
New rotary encoders for safety-critical systems from POSITAL
POSITAL has expanded its family of IXARC absolute rotary encoders to include models explicitly designed for use in safety-critical motion control systems. The new encoders feature redundant measurement elements and are certified to Safety Integrity Level 2 (SIL 2) and Performance Level d (PL d). They feature a PROFINET communications interface and support the PROFIsafe […]
Lightweight modular rotary encoder for machine designers
HEIDENHAIN is meeting the market demand for high-speed, high-resolution modular rotary encoders for motion feedback with the launch of the ERO 2000 series encoder. The encoders’ special properties are that they have a very compact design, excellent signal quality and therefore high interpolation rates, as well as excellent thermal position stability. The introduction of this […]
