The Wiegand Effect at Work: from lab curiosity to versatile product

June 20, 2021 By Mike Santora

multi-turn-magnetic-rotary-encoders

What is the Wiegand Effect? Ferromagnetic materials – such as iron, nickel, cobalt, or alloys containing these elements – have a special property: When samples are exposed to an external magnetic field, they become magnetized, creating a magnetic field of their own. Moreover, they remain magnetized when the external field is removed. Ferromagnetic materials vary […]

Precision feedback for collaborative robots from Posital

September 24, 2018 By Mike Santora

Posital-Kit-Encoders

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 […]
