Most of the hacks we see around these parts have to do with taking existing components and cobbling them together in interesting new ways. It’s less often that we see existing components gutted and ...

Encoder rings are available in three sizes for different shaft sizes and yield up to 184,320 pulses per revolution. July 11, 2010 - ASM Sensors announces PMIR7 series magnetic encoder rings. These ...

Angle and motion sensors are widely used in vehicles for applications such as pedal position-sensing, throttle control, and in transmissions and steering wheels. It hardly needs stating that, ...

Magnetic sensors are a workhorse technology for contactless measurement and position sensing applications in automotive and industrial systems. As with all silicon based devices, increasing ...

A while back we featured a magnetic rotary encoder that [LongHairedHacker] designed. The heart of the system is an AS5043 magnetic rotary sensor which runs from $6.5-$11 and has a 10 bits precision.

EcoSpin makes rotational speed and angular measurements in dirty, contaminated, and high vibration operating environments. Southington, Conn. - May 13, 2008 - For space-restricted rotational speed and ...

Abstract: In the research into linear displacement sensors, the main research targets are optical grating and magnetic grating-based displacement sensors. However, magnetic grating and optical grating ...

Posital CEO Christian Leeser contends that magnetic encoders’ combination of extreme environment durability, energy harvesting capabilities, high-precision and a smaller footprint will lead the ...

Abstract: A new type of small magnetic rotary encoder is presented. The device detects the magnetic field of a permanent magnet attached to the end of the rotating shaft using complementary ...
