Melexis is aiming at electric motors with family of angle-sensing absolute magnetic encoder ICs that can work at high speed and typically deliver 1° accuracy or better. “By detecting the three ...

CUI Devices has announced an incremental encoder for motors with shafts between 1 and 6.35mm in diameter. “The AMT12 series brings the same durability, accuracy and immunity to environmental ...

Relative rotary encoder The relative rotary encoder, also known as incremental encoder, is an applied optical encoding methodology. Generally, the rotary encoder utilizes a patterned spinning disc ...

Rotary encoder vs potentiometer A rotary encoder is a wonderful digital alternative to the old analog potentiometers. Rotary encoders are useful as rotation sensors (or selectors) and look similar to ...

This device was used to test and evaluate the different encoders using a TMB+ torque motor from ETEL. The cutaway shows the positions of the different absolute angle encoders: (a) a Heidenhain RCN ...

While there are a couple of open-source brushless drivers already available, [neuromancer2701] created his own brushless motor controller on an Arduino shield.

By Glen Young, Actel September 11, 2007 -- pldesignline.com Precisely tracking speed, acceleration, and position of a motor's rotor is an essential requirement for many motor control applications ...
