Optical or magnetic linear encoders are traditionally used to provide position feedback in applications with frequent product changes or and sophisticated machining. Linear encoders improve the ...

Here’s a guide to evaluating and using the latest generation of 3D magnetic sensors, which offer a higher-accuracy alternative to existing 1D Hall-effect sensors. Linear magnetic sensing is becoming ...

Alliance Sensors Group is pleased to announce the MR Series of Linear Position Sensors for use in measuring the ram position of hydraulic and pneumatic cylinders. The MR Series is designed to be a ...

To help you evaluate the True Cost of Ownership (TCO) of commonly used industrial linear position sensors, our first article identified the four most commonly utilized industrial position-sensing ...

The fast update rate option, available for SSI and EtherCAT® protocols, fulfills high, dynamic requirements by shortening the cycle time for a measured value so the controller can read the absolute ...

Of course, many different types of distance measuring sensors exist but not all sensors are the same. Each sensor has its own advantages and disadvantages. At its most basic level, a distance ...

Melexis has brought out a linear Hall-effect sensor that draws less than 5 µA at 100 Hz and integrates digital filters for enhanced performance. Its flexible architecture is available in multiple ...

Subsea environments are one of the most difficult areas for any sensor to perform, especially when performance life of as much as 20 years is expected in an underwater application. In subsea ...

Have you ever wondered how a robot navigates a cluttered room or how a drone maintains its altitude with pinpoint accuracy? The secret lies in the tools used to measure distance, an often-overlooked ...
