I want to write about something a little different this time. I removed the mechanical scroll wheel rotary encoder from a discarded optical mouse and used it in a little project. I really liked the ...

Rotary encoders are the bee’s knees. Not only do you get absolute positioning, you can also use a rotary encoder (with a fancy tact button underneath) for an easy UI for any electronics project. There ...

In the era of touch screens and capacitive buttons, we’d be lying if we said we didn’t have the occasional pang of nostalgia for the good old days when interfacing with devices had a bit more heft to ...

Condition monitoring and predictive maintenance Configurability offers price advantages Wide range of mechanical versions available Individual software configuration at the factory Expandable ...

The sensing mechanism in an incremental optical rotary encoder consists primarily of a light source, code wheel, and optical detector. As the code wheel turns, a ring of alternating opaque and ...

MR318 is the world's first commercially-available rotaryposition sensor which can operate with complete "transparency" inextreme electromagnetic fields such as MRI machines. An enabler for ...

Elma’s E18 rotary encoder comes in through-hole and surface-mount versions in the 14.4 x 11.4 x 6.5mm body size. Rotational life is up to 150,000 revolutions, according to distributor Foremost, which ...

The SMA3 bearingless absolute encoder can be installed in rotary and linear applications and integrates the Multipole Pitch Technology. It is designed for linear measuring lengths up to 19.3 m (63.32 ...
