Orientation Position Sensing

The model 7700 Incremental and Virtual Absolute encoder is a compact, non-contact modular encoder with superior performance. Available in many resolutions and configurations, it is easy to install and its optional commutation tracks eliminate hall effect sensors for brushless motors. Read more...

The A58 is the highest resolution compact encoder available for applications requiring precise measurements of distances and angles in a relatively small package. The low cost and high accuracy of this encoder make it an ideal solution for practically all applications which require absolute positioning. Read more...

The Series 9480H is a robust metrology-grade encoder that is equally well-suited for industrial applications. It incorporates four reading heads to eliminate many common sources of encoder errors, while its stainless steel construction greatly enhances resistance to shock and vibration. Read more...

The Model A19 is the smallest true-absolute rotary encoder available with opto/magnetic electronic technology. With resolution of up to 18-bits (262,144 words/turn), this mini-encoder provides superior performance in a wide variety of position-sensing applications for the measuring of angles and distances in very small envelopes.

RESOLUTE™ Absolute Optical Linear and Rotary encoder system from Renishaw.

RESOLUTE™ is a true absolute, fine pitch optical encoder system that has excellent dirt immunity, and an impressive specification that breaks new ground in position feedback. It is the world's first absolute encoder capable of 27-bit resolution at 36000 rev/min. 100 m/s for both linear an... Read more...

In combination with the high power BX4 Series 4-Pole brushless DC servomotors from FAULHABER the high resolution Absolute Encoders Series AES-4096 can be used for precision commutation and optimized position and speed control. Using revolutionary single chip magnetic encoder technology, the encoders help to reduce torque ripple, provide for higher motor efficiency and reduced electrical... Read more...

MICROMO is pleased to announce the new high precision IER3 and IERS3 optical encoders from FAULHABER. Both encoders deliver 2 channel quadrature signals and an additional index signal. The encoders are highly precise, thanks to the optical measuring principle. Read more...

Non-contact potentiometer replacement offers ultimate reliability and no wear.

Potentiometers provide low cost, analog position feedback with simple integration. However, they are subject to degradation of performance, or even failure, due to wear and contamination. A dirty or worn potentiometer can provide noisy, unreliable operation, requiring periodic replacement.

A new generation of ... Read more...
