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 […]

Trends 2020: New applications drive encoder design trends

March 23, 2020 By Miles Budimir Leave a Comment

encoder

Encoders are central to motion control applications. They can provide position, speed, and direction feedback to a controller or drive to increase the accuracy and reliability of a drive system. As technology evolves, so too do encoders, incorporating the latest advancements in communications and networking and offering engineers tools to solve challenges they face across […]

Position indicators and axis-adjusting actuators from SIKO include IO-Link

June 6, 2019 By Lisa Eitel Leave a Comment

Bus-capable position indicators and actuators from SIKO are suitable for an array of machine builds today. The motion sensors and adjusters make size changeover processes more efficient and reliable — which in turn supports the flexible conversion of modern production systems for ever-smaller batch sizes. It doesn’t matter if such machine conversions are done manually […]

AP10 IO-Link position indicators from SIKO maintain efficiency and reliability

January 18, 2019 By Lisa Eitel Leave a Comment

Bus-capable position indicators from SIKO are the heart of a monitored size changeover and are indispensable in machine construction today. Their ability to display the setpoint and actual value on the adjusting spindle to the machine operator increases comfort for the setter. This greatly simplifies the process of refitting a production machine for a new […]

Absolute, high-resolution motor feedback sensor from SIKO

August 2, 2017 By Miles Budimir Leave a Comment

sensor

The MSAC501 absolute sensor from SIKO offers a truly absolute solution for measuring motor feedback. The exact sensor position is available immediately after a current interruption so additional reference or mechanical activity is not necessary. The MSAC501 sensor works with standardized SSI or RS485 interfaces. An optional LD output for digital signal output is also […]

Motion applications for transducers and sensors

March 7, 2017 By Miles Budimir Leave a Comment

sensors

Transducers and sensors are essential components for data collection, systems monitoring, and control feedback. In motion-control applications, transducers take the form of rotary or linear encoders for position feedback, sensors such as tachometers for speed sensing, and even proximity switches to initiate or halt some machine action. In hydraulic motion control systems, for instance, pressure […]

Smart format change — SIKO AG24 power pack with industrial Ethernet

January 11, 2017 By Lisa Eitel Leave a Comment

The motorized size changeover of machine spindles or machine axes is now being implemented in various ways. The solutions to this are often relatively rudimentary. So no handwheel or crank is rotated, but one or more buttons is pressed instead. This isn’t an Industry 4.0 smart process chain. But intelligent positioning drives can be an efficient and more sophisticated […]
