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.

The new RSF MS 45 brings to market an exposed linear encoder that features an integrated status display with a multicolor LED to facilitate simple mounting as well as to allow for monitoring signal ...

Same Sky’s Motion & Control Group announced the addition of the AMT25 series to its AMT absolute encoder family. The series ...

At those times a special sensor called an encoder is attached to the motor shaft ... Typically, it uses a slotted wheel placed between an LED light source and a phototransistor.

The sensor is mounted in a polystyrene optical package and is designed to be used with a high intensity LED. It provides a complete and compact ... direction output signal which emulates an ordinary ...

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.

IC-Haus introduced the iC-HD2, iC-HD7 and iC-HE line drivers for 5 V and 24 V industrial encoder/sensor applications ... current source to supply a common LED encoder illumination.

Now available from Variohm EuroSensor, Contelec’s recently announced Vert-X 37MT Hall-effect encoder combines a 16-bit single-turn ... Unlike conventional single-turn + multi-turn designs, the Swiss ...

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.
