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 ...

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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