In automation, precision and reliability are no longer optional; they are requirements. For a wide variety of machine types and processes, linear guides provide that accuracy and high-capacity travel.

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 ...

Last year, Automation World examined the differences between accuracy, resolution, and precision in the encoder world. And while understanding the differences among these terms is important to ...

The dual sealing lips on the LC 195S provide an extra layer of protection against contamination, and their extrusions ensure high vibration resistance, improving reliability and accuracy. Improving on ...

To attain accurate positioning, a servo system requires a feedback signal to close its feedback loop. Instruments that typically supply the feedback signal include optical encoders, resolvers, and ...

Austria Microsystems expanded its magnetic sensor product portfolio to include the AS5304 and AS5306, two high performance linear Hall sensor ICs. AS5304 and AS5306 provide motion control developers ...

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 ...
