Top encoder trends for 2015: Smarter, more reliable designs

March 5, 2015 By Miles Budimir Leave a Comment

1-Heidenhain-Absolute-Encoder-trends-2015

As critical components in motion control systems, encoders have come a long way from the mostly mechanical devices of yesteryear. We asked some leading encoder manufacturers to tell us how encoder designs are changing and what industries and applications are driving those changes. Here’s what those manufacturers said. 1. What are some of the key […]

Better ways to commutate BLDCs — with capacitive sensing

February 14, 2015 By Motion Control Tips Editor Leave a Comment

CUI-AMT303-capacitive-commutation-encoder

By Jeff Smoot, VP Motion Control, CUI Inc. Capacitive commutation can speed up the assembly of brushless dc motors and be more accurate than conventional Hall sensors. Examine a cordless power tool or a computer hard drive and you’ll likely find a brushless dc motor (BLDC) doing the work. BLDCs have become widely used in recent […]

CUI Delivers Combination of Accuracy and Rugged Performance

May 30, 2014 By Jennifer Calhoon Leave a Comment

CUI

CUI Inc has announced a modular encoder series that uniquely combines both accuracy and ruggedness. The AMT11 incremental encoder family is targeted at industrial applications, which are subject to vibration and contaminants – such as dust, dirt and oil – that typically stop optical encoders from working effectively. This, when combined with exceptional accuracy figures […]
