The new SIKO AP20S position indicator is easy to integrate. It connects with MS500H linear magnetic sensors via an external connection to track the position of linear guides and slide adjustments in machines. Users can see the target and actual position directly at the adjustment position, and this information is also goes to the main […]
HEIDENHAIN debuts multi-section linear encoder for use with ACU-RITE’S digital readouts
HEIDENHAIN announces the addition of the AMO LMF 9310 multi-section linear encoder to its line of robust linear encoders. This TTL encoder is specifically designed for long length applications (over 10 ft) on manually operated machines and is compatible with HEIDENHAIN’s ACU-RITE brand of digital readouts. The AMO LMF 9310 is a replacement for the […]
Mounting bracket turns shaft encoders into linear measurement solution
New mounting bracket fits size 25 programmable and absolute shaft encoders Encoder Products Company (EPC) has introduced a new linear measurement solution: a bracket that fits all of EPC’s size 25 shaft encoders with 2.5 in. flange mounts, including absolute and programmable encoders. The bracket works with: The Model MA63S absolute encoder. With resolution up […]
How to calculate encoder resolution
Resolution is one of the most important indicators of an encoder’s performance. For incremental encoders, resolution is typically specified in pulses per revolution (PPR), or, in the case of linear encoders, pulses per inch (PPI) or pulses per millimeter (PPM). These square-wave pulses are very precisely spaced, and the encoder determines its position by counting […]
New absolute linear encoder for vacuum environments from HEIDENHAIN
HEIDENHAIN’s new LIC 4100 V linear encoder for vacuum environments is a new addition to the LIC 4100 linear absolute kit style encoder system. With several technical considerations, these new encoders can operate down to 6 x 10-7 mbar, survive a 100˚C bake out, and have low outgassing. Industries that could take advantage of this […]
RSF Elektronik offers new MC 15 linear encoder
RSF Elektronik now provides an upgrade path for customers using the MS 15 linear encoder or for those who would like to design in absolute linear measurement technology in price-sensitive applications. The MC 15 has exactly the same wide tolerance mounting configuration as the MS 15 and has a built-in functional reserve of signal strength. […]
Two new absolute linear encoders with several interface options from NUMERIK JENA
NUMERIK JENA now offers two families of absolute linear encoders to fit into tight spaces. Called the LAK and KIT LA, these non-contact encoders offer several types of electrical interfaces, including EnDat 2.2 with analog signals. This interface allows motion stage manufacturers to use the absolute position values and the analog position values for different […]
Fast and synchronous linear-position sensing with Balluff’s magnetostrictive technology
Simple wiring, continuous diagnostics, and parameter setting through a controller are among the benefits of Balluff’s line of linear-position sensors with an Ethernet/IP interface. These Balluff Micropulse linear-position sensors are accurate and reliable and come in an array of configurations to satisfy myriad application requirements. The magnetostrictive sensors also have a flexible magnet mode (FMM) that lets design engineers program axes […]
