One key benefit over incremental linear encoders is inherent absolute positioning. A linear encoder is basically a ruler or scale marked with increments that a reading head counts as it travels past.

The linear magnetic encoder IC's can be used in a variety of motion sensing applications found in medical, industrial and consumer products. Similar to optical sensors, the Hall sensors provide ...

The fiber optic linear incremental encoder system is based on an innovative optical technique embodied in Micronor’s U.S. Patent 7,196,720 in which an electrically passive, all-optical sensor and ...

Possible areas of application for iC-ML include analog/digital incremental linear scales, contactless sliding switches / linear potentiometers, level sensors, commutation of linear motors and linear ...

Thanks to the smooth-running precision linear guides with crossed roller bearings, the linear stage is particularly suitable for scanning applications with constant velocity.

An incremental encoder provides speed and distance feedback of any linear and rotary system. This category of the encoder device generates a plus train or a square wave to determine position and ...

PI (Physik Instrumente) L.P. Piezo Nano Positioning - Linear Motor Stage with Absolute Encoder Provides 2 Nanometer Resolution ...

MICRONOR introduces the world’s first commercially-available MRI Safe linear position sensor system for OEM motion control applications.

MTS Systems' Sensors Division's magnetostrictive sensors now provide the performance level that make them preferable alternatives to linear encoders in certain applications. The sensors can be ...
