There are three major types of encoders used for motor position sensing: absolute position value, incremental with “1” and “0” output, and incremental sinusoidal signal.

Kollmorgen’s AKM and AKM2G servo motors with the new SFD-M encoder, along with its AKD and AKD2G servo drives, are ...

Conclusion Quadrature encoders are commonly used to provide rotor position and speed monitoring mechanisms. Their accuracy and performance are superior to traditional Hall Effect sensor and BEMF in ...

Renesas Electronics Corporation, a premier supplier of advanced semiconductor solutions, today announced an inductive position sensor technology for highly accurate motor position sensor ICs for ...

Renesas Electronics has developed an inductive position sensor (IPS) technology for highly accurate motor position sensor ICs for robotics, industrial and medical applications. Utilising non-contact ...

Motor positioning, for example, wasn’t as straightforward as using a rotary encoder and a microcontroller.

Position encoders are sensors that, when used in industrial settings, produce critical motor information such as speed and position. The encoder delivers data for display or data that may serve as ...

Since the AS5601 performs contactless rotary position measurement, it suffers none of the reliability problems with which conventional rotary encoders are plagued.

Oriental Motor of Japan is offering stepper motors with battery-free multi-turn absolute position encoding that can ride through power-loss. The encoder, ...
