If you have a motor and you’d like to know where the shaft position is, you are likely to turn to an optical encoder scheme. However, as [lingib] points out, you can also use a magnet and a ...

The redesigned HS35 vector-duty hollow-shaft encoder from Dynapar Corp., Gurnee, Ill. (www.dynapar.com) has several new features but the same old price. For example, the encoder now carries a 400-g ...

The HS35 incremental hollow-shaft encoder from Baumer Ltd., Southington, Conn., combines heavy-duty design with a precise optical scanner to provide reliable, closed-loop control with accuracies of 60 ...

The Model HS52 is said to be the first UL and ATEX rated explosion-proof hollow shaft encoder. It can operating directly in Division 1 and Zone 1 environments ...

SICK has unveiled its next-generation family of large-bore hollow-shaft incremental encoders, the SICK DGS80. An innovative design concept has opened up versatileintegration possibilities for the ...

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 ...

With an outside diameter of 2.5”, the HS25 industrial-grade hollow-shaft encoder is designed to accommodate standard motor shafts of 5/8” diameter. The unit is rugged and sealed for use in industrial ...

For those needing contamination-resistant encoders with functional safety (FS) for machine feedback, HEIDENHAIN introduces the ECM 2400 absolute modular magnetic angle encoder. Schaumburg, IL, April ...

We always think it is interesting that a regular DC motor and a generator are about the same thing. Sure, each is optimized for its purpose, but inefficiencies aside, you can use electricity to rotate ...
