Heidenhain Corporation is making available a new version of the RCN Series of absolute angle encoders, now with “Functional Safety” offering numerous advantages to today’s machine tools. Heidenhain ...

Melexis is aiming at electric motors with family of angle-sensing absolute magnetic encoder ICs that can work at high speed and typically deliver 1° accuracy or better. “By detecting the three ...

Why are there so many different angle encoders on the market? Why do they use different scanning and measuring methods? And which one should a designer choose? To answer those questions, engineers at ...

Direct drives place rigorous demands on position-signal quality. Optimum measuring signals increase the quality of the machined workpiece surface, reduce vibration in the machine frame, stop excessive ...

A high-accuracy 20-bit resolution quasi-absolute encoder with DSP-based signal processing is housed in a dc stepper motor assembly, as shown in Fig. 1. Able to operate in a temperature range between ...
