Myriad applications require custom torque motors — including hard-machining table drives, mirror millers, and measuring and grinding machines. In fact, machine builders for these applications are now ...

Torque motors are also called "frameless" motors. They don't have housings, bearings, or feedback devices. In this sense the motor is a kit and meant to be part of the machine structure. Torque motors ...

Rotary encoders are electromechanical devices used for sensing in myriad applications—on motors paired with drives and automated machinery for everything from consumer electronics, elevators, and ...

EBE Sensors+Motion has revised its manual handwheel rotary encoder, designed for precise adjustment of machines. Inside the encoder, called HR100, the 100 detent ‘clicks’ are created by magnetic ...

Is it really possible to build a rotary encoder out of a flattened tin can and a couple of photodetectors? Sure it’s possible, but what kind of resolution are you going to get from such a contraption?

With an outside diameter of 7.2 mm and a body height of 10.5 mm, the 7S series of incremental rotary encoders from Nemicon can be used in a variety of applications where space is limited, such as ...

Designed for high-resolution, space-restricted applications, the RHI58 series incremental rotary encoders come in an industry-standard, 58-mm diameter housing with a mounting profile of less than 2".

Is it really possible to build a rotary encoder out of a flattened tin can and a couple of photodetectors? Sure it’s possible, but what kind of resolution are you going to get from such a contraption?

Rotary encoders convert rotary movement or angular position into analogue or digital signals for use in measurement or control systems. They can be classified in a number of ways, primarily by the ...

Victor, NY – April 8, 2009 – New Scale Technologies (www.newscaletech.com), creator of the world’s smallest linear motors, today announced that it has developed new rotary piezoelectric motors using ...

In robotics, movements must be precise and well-controlled. As robots are asked to do more as industry becomes more familiar with the technology, there will be an increasing need for high accuracy ...
