The AS5040 is a 10-bit, 360⁰ programmable magnetic rotary encoder featuring contactless high resolution rotational position and three incremental output modes. It has push-button functionality and ...

POSITAL’s high-performance IXARC optical rotary encoders are now available with EtherCAT communications interfaces. EtherCAT (Ethernet for Control Automation Technology) is a special form of ...

Optical rotary encoders are the most widely used way to transform mechanical rotary motion into electrical signals. There are three basic configurations for optical encoders: incremental, absolute, ...

Rotary and linear optical encoders are common in position and motion sensing. Here, a disc or plate containing opaque and transparent segments passes between an LED and detector to interrupt a light ...

Baumer has released the EB360 bearingless multi-turn magnetic encoder with a compact design for precise feedback in challenging environments. With wear-free operation and a modular, space-saving ...

Encoders are a vital component in many applications that require motion control and feedback information. Whether a system’s requirement is speed, direction, or distance, an encoder produces control ...

If you would like to add programmable controls via touchscreen and rotary dials to your existing project or next home automation system the M5Dial might be worth more investigation. Its interactive ...

I want to write about something a little different this time. I removed the mechanical scroll wheel rotary encoder from a discarded optical mouse and used it in a little project. I really liked the ...
