Gearless drives, also known as direct drives, are used in the elevator technology for their high torque at low rotation frequencies and their smooth and silent operation. Gearless drives, also known ...

Absolute encoders using optical technology often face limitations in resolution and size. For example, to achieve a higher resolution of up to 16-bits, the absolute encoder has to be combined with an ...

Direct drives place rigorous demands on position-signal quality. Optimum measuring signals increase the quality of the machined workpiece surface, reduce vibration in the machine frame, stop excessive ...

Encoders are a vital component in many applications that require motion control and feedback information. Whether a system’s requirement is speed, direction, or distance, an encoder produces control ...

A DSP design approach, including hardware and software implementation for a quasi-absolute encoder. LEE WEI YAN, Applications Engineer, Avago Technologies, San Jose, Calif. A high-accuracy 20-bit ...

A new magnetic digital encoder featuring 14-bit resolution, differential outputs, and a speed range of up to 200-k e-RPM offers accurate and cost-effective position sensing for various robotic and ...
