Rather than choosing a commodity replacement part, [Chris] rolled his own from the mechanical parts of the original encoder, like the shaft and panel bushing, and an AS5048A sensor board.

His post says that most industrial absolute encoders use a special magnetic sensor known as a Wiegand wire to control costs. To demonstrate he does a teardown of an encoder made by Nidec Avtron ...

Posital has enhanced its IXARC family of incremental magnetic rotary encoders, increasing the maximum resolution to 32,768 ...

The German sensor-maker Sick Sensor Intelligence has announced a new generation of absolute encoders designed to help deliver higher machine and system productivity. Available in single- and ...

This makes the encoders both rugged and low-maintenance ... A built-in self-calibration capability can be used to compensate for small sensor-to-shaft alignment errors that occur during the ...

engineers can now integrate a fully featured rotary sensor directly on existing shafts without the packaging issues that typically accompany encoders or other through shaft sensing devices.

The SMA3 contactless absolute encoder can be installed in rotary and linear applications and integrates the MARS Multi Adaptive Range Sensor. It enables the size of the pole to be adjusted in ...

a state-of-the-art digital rotary torque sensor equipped with an integrated incremental angle encoder. This innovative addition to the TorqSense SGR series adds a new capability for precision in ...
