New surface-mount optical sensors increase vertical headroom, enabling more flexible encoder and position-sensing designs across industrial and consumer electronics.

Not every project has to be complicated– reinventing the wheel has its place, but sometimes you find a module or two that does exactly what you want, and the project is more than halfway done. That ...

It can detect vertical distances over several millimeters, offering an ideal solution for contactless, multiaxis human interface devices, such as navigational knobs. The AS5046 combines Hall elements ...

What is a rotary encoder? A rotary encoder (RT) is a device that you can rotate infinitely. On most rotary encoders, when you rotate them you will feel a bump (known as steps), and most RTs have about ...

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 ...
