Used as an alternative to optical encoders, the AS5311 Hall-effect-sensor-based linear magnetic encoder is presented as the first to offer submicron resolution. For linear motion sensing, a multipole ...

The SIKO MagLine Encoder MSA111C features DRIVE-CLiQ[1] interface and SIL2. The sensor has been tested and certified as SIL 2 compliant according to EN 61508, performance level ‘d’, category 3 ...

A typical linear encoder consists of a scanning unit and a scale. The scale is generally glass and is cemented to a support, usually an aluminum extrusion. The scanning unit contains a light source, ...

12-bit universal magnetic position encoder IC includes linear Hall sensor array adapted to the targets’ magnetic pole pitch of 2 mm May 17, 2013 The iC-MHL200 from iC-Haus is a 12-bit IC for linear ...

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 ...

Optical linear encoders, as a result, are susceptible to interference from dust, solvents, and debris, limiting the environments in which they can be used. Other constraints are imposed by the fragile ...
