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 ...

The fast update rate option, available for SSI and EtherCAT® protocols, fulfills high, dynamic requirements by shortening the cycle time for a measured value so the controller can read the absolute ...

Howard A. Schaevitz Technologies Inc. Pennsauken, N.J. Engineers continue to increase their use of linear-position and displacement sensors for providing real-time information to feedback-hungry PLCs ...

They are installed not only in electrical linear motors, but also in pneumatic, hydraulic, ball-screw or power-grip belt drives and wherever high-accuracy, dynamic positioning tasks must be performed.

Here’s a guide to evaluating and using the latest generation of 3D magnetic sensors, which offer a higher-accuracy alternative to existing 1D Hall-effect sensors. Linear magnetic sensing is becoming ...

Providing a cost-effective upgrade to its Temposonics&reg line of magnetostrictive position sensors, MTS Sensors announces that its G-Series is backward compatible with existing L-Series and Tempo II ...

Subsea environments are one of the most difficult areas for any sensor to perform, especially when performance life of as much as 20 years is expected in an underwater application. In subsea ...

Brand new from ANDANTA are InGaAs linear sensors with 1024 x 1 or 512 x 1 pixels with different square and rectangular pixel sizes and dimensions. These sensors are now also available with an uncooled ...

Melexis has brought out a linear Hall-effect sensor that draws less than 5 µA at 100 Hz and integrates digital filters for enhanced performance. Its flexible architecture is available in multiple ...

The S8380 and S8381 NMOS linear image sensors are designed for multichannel spectrophotometry applications and image readout systems. Operating from 200 to 1000 nm, they have a 750-nm peak sensitivity ...
