Some designers continue to specify linear encoders for applications in which magnetostrictive sensors would work, the former is a familiar technology. However, as we'll explore, magnetostrictive ...

Optical or magnetic linear encoders handle high-res needs in dirty jobs.

SICK has expanded its proven, non-contact magnetostrictive linear encoder portfolio with the launch of a versatile product family for wide-ranging industrial applications. The DAX® linear encoders ...

The linear encoders are used with magnetic bands that are attached to the mounting surface and protected by a stainless-steel cover. The encoder's resolution is up to 5 µm with quadruple evaluation, ...

These LC 185/485 encoders improve upon HEIDENHAIN's already successful LC xx3 series, as they now provide suitable replacements for the LC 183/483 sealed linear encoders already in the market. The ...

MICRONOR introduces the world’s first commercially-available MRI Safe linear position sensor system for OEM motion control applications.

SICK has expanded its MAX® family of linear encoders to extend the space-saving, operating cost and maintenance benefits offered by its innovative magnetostrictive measurement technology to smaller ...

The new absolute LC 195S and LC 495S sealed linear encoders from HEIDENHAIN are now available for use on machines that need to be certified for functional safety. The dual sealing lips on the LC ...

Incremental-rotation or linear encoders are very common, but normally they do not provide a direction signal. This design shows an easy way to detect forward or reverse direction. Incremental ...

MTS Systems' Sensors Division's magnetostrictive sensors now provide the performance level that make them preferable alternatives to linear encoders in certain applications. The sensors can be ...
