The LV-45 linear position sensors are specifically designed for measuring applications requiring rugged devices, whether measuring position of steam turbine valves, mounted in a paper mill head box or calendar roll stand, or outdoors fastened […]
New SWS steering wheel sensor for warehouse trucks
Allied Motion Technologies has introduced the SWS Steering Wheel Sensor, a compact steer-by-wire steering wheel feedback sensor designed specifically for warehouse vehicles like reach, counterbalance, and lift trucks. Steering wheels can be mounted directly to the SWS and connected to a CAN bus. Without the need for a mechanical connection, truck designers are free to […]
Encoder series adds multi-turn output option
CUI’s Motion Group announced that its AMT21 series of absolute modular encoders has added models with multi-turn output capability. Offering 12 bits or 14 bits of absolute position information, the multi-turn AMT21 series implements a 14-bit signed number turns counter for applications rotating beyond 360 degrees. These features provide users with the ability to keep […]
POSITAL incremental encoders with space-saving angled cable entry
Position and motion sensor specialist POSITAL has announced that its IXARC incremental encoders will be available with a special housing that features a cable entry angled at 45° to the device’s axis. This compact design combines features of both axial and radial cable entries in a single unit, providing the installer with more flexibility when […]
Precision feedback for collaborative robots from Posital
An exciting development in the area of robotics is the development and growing popularity of so-called collaborative robots, or “cobots”. Cobots, in contrast to traditional industrial robots, are designed to interact with human workers in a shared workspace. They are typically smaller and less powerful than traditional factory robots and are equipped with a variety […]
Optical encoders from Grayhill feature optical switching technology
Grayhill Inc. highlights the availability of the series 62AG, 62NG and 62SG optical encoders, which feature optical switching technology for exceptionally high operational life, and provide excellent tactile feedback to the user. The Series 62AG, 62NG and 62SG encoders deliver significant advantages over other switch technologies in healthcare electronics, communication systems, navigation devices, precision test […]
Robust magnetic incremental encoder for direct shaft assembly
Rotational position needs to be detected in many mobile machine and industrial vehicle applications. However, many encoders are not suited for rough environmental conditions as typically given in these applications such as dirt, humidity and extreme temperatures and will show early sensor failures. ASM presents posirot PMIS4/PMIR7, a non-contact, wear-free magnetic incremental encoder solution which […]
How do sensors make a smart crane safer?
Watching a crane operator elevate and transport a heavy load over a significant distance to a precise location with an articulated crane is always a fascinating and thought-provoking activity. With today’s concerns about job safety, how is safety handled in this process? Safety begins with the skill of the crane operator but today’s sensors and […]
