In aviation the term fly-by-wire means that the control surfaces of an aircraft are operated by actuators rather than via cables and rods, with electrical signals transmitting information from the ...

Rotary and linear optical encoders are common in position and motion sensing. Here, a disc or plate containing opaque and transparent segments passes between an LED and detector to interrupt a light ...

Veratus is the first MicroE encoder built using the company's new VeraPath™ optical technology, delivering the reliability, signal stability, and dirt immunity required in many applications. VeraPath ...

Optical or magnetic linear encoders handle high-res needs in dirty jobs. Linear encoders help minimize errors in motion transmission such as backlash, hysteresis, abbe errors, ball-screw thermal ...

The encoder module incorporates a lensed LED light source and monolithic photodetector array with signal-shaping electronics to produce the two-channel bounceless TTL outputs. The internal monolithic ...

The DWS60 Draw Wire encoder system provides linear motion feedback over long distances for a range of industrial applications. Key features include an extended measurement range capable of measuring ...

Analog and digital optoelectronic sensors combine an LED and an optoelectronic integrated circuit in a compact package to enable optical encoders to provide absolute or incremental position detection ...

Optical encoders have been used to measure position, speed, acceleration and motion direction for decades, but now they are finding new applications where high performance and miniaturization are ...

A Purdue University-connected startup has received federal funding to innovate an industry projected to reach $4.4 billion by 2028. The funding will be used to improve the manufacture of sensors used ...

Purdue University alumnus Sergey Zakharov, co-founder and chief technology officer of ZS Instruments, holds an optical encoder wafer created by a prototype of the company’s novel technology. ZS ...
