Extron has introduced two devices that bring powerful single-cable USB-C connectivity and expanded USB extension capabilities ...

Linear encoders sense and digitize linear position and movement. A linear encoder is a sensor linked to a scale. The sensor reads the scale and converts position into an analog or digital signal that ...

Renishaw now offers longer sealed encoder scale lengths to support the development of large machine tools. Customers can choose FORTiS™ enclosed encoder linear scales as long as 4.24 m for their ...

Linear encoders are often essential. Even where they’re not, benefits they offer can justify the additional cost they incur. Linear encoders bypass the mechanical linkages of rotary-to-linear motion ...

The AMR4020VD supports parallel or perpendicular PCB mounting and resists external magnetic fields up to 1,500 Gauss. MultiDimension Technology Co., Ltd. (MDT) announced the launch of its AMR4020VD ...

Encoders are widely used in the motion control and automation industry to monitor the position and speed of motors. This information can be used by the motion control electronics to detect if the ...

Myriad applications require custom torque motors — including hard-machining table drives, mirror millers, and measuring and grinding machines. In fact, machine builders for these applications are now ...

Machine tools can produce significant vibration during operation and high levels of machine vibration can adversely affect the enclosed position encoders installed on these machines, leading to ...
