Encoders with a reduced package size can be a big help when space on and around the motor shaft gets tight. And suppliers have recognized that fact and developed new models that squeeze high ...

HEIDENHAIN's new PressFit rotary encoders are uniquely designed for feedback and to ease mounting within small motors particularly during automated assembly. Developed in collaboration with global ...

CUI Devices has announced an incremental encoder for motors with shafts between 1 and 6.35mm in diameter. “The AMT12 series brings the same durability, accuracy and immunity to environmental ...

The AEDR 8400 series are the industry’s smallest reflective incremental optical encoders, according to Avago Technologies. The encoders combine this extremely small size—3.00 mm by 3.28 mm by 1.262 mm ...

NUMERIK JENA, known for high quality smaller package-size linear and rotary encoders, has now developed two families of absolute linear encoders to fit into tight spaces. NUMERIK JENA, known for high ...

AutomationDirect has added a series of Koyo miniature encoders to its line of positioning and motion control products, providing a cost-effective solution for size-limited applications. The TRD-MX ...

Avago Technologies, the world's largest privately held semiconductor company, today introduced an enhanced series of cost-competitive ultra-small optical encoder modules with resolutions of up to 360 ...

SCHAUMBURG, IL --(Marketwired - April 30, 2013) - The new RSF MS 14 encoder system fulfills the need for a small package, high resolution encoder that has a repeatable optical reference mark, along ...

It takes considerable time and effort to manufacture “perfect” surfaces. The mirrors on NASA’s James Webb Space Telescope, with a surface area of about 25 m 2 and finished to accuracies of 25 nm, took ...

A typical linear encoder consists of a scanning unit and a scale. The scale is generally glass and is cemented to a support, usually an aluminum extrusion. The scanning unit contains a light source, ...
