Thanks to the smooth-running precision linear guides with crossed roller bearings, the linear stage is particularly suitable for scanning applications with constant velocity. The anti-creep system ...

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, ...

The M-122 palm-top-sized translation stage integrates small dimensions, high speeds and very high accuracy at a competitive price. It features a space-saving, folded drive train with the servo motor ...

Optical or magnetic linear encoders are traditionally used to provide position feedback in applications with frequent product changes or and sophisticated machining. Linear encoders improve the ...

Last year, Automation World examined the differences between accuracy, resolution, and precision in the encoder world. And while understanding the differences among these terms is important to ...

Rotary encoders convert rotary movement or angular position into analogue or digital signals for use in measurement or control systems. They can be classified in a number of ways, primarily by the ...

Austria Microsystems expanded its magnetic sensor product portfolio to include the AS5304 and AS5306, two high performance linear Hall sensor ICs. AS5304 and AS5306 provide motion control developers ...
