A while back we featured a magnetic rotary encoder that [LongHairedHacker] designed. The heart of the system is an AS5043 magnetic rotary sensor which runs from $6.5-$11 and has a 10 bits precision… ...

Depending on the high encoder resolution and robust servo controllers, the direct-drive rotary tables also offer outstanding velocity control. This is needed in automation applications like high-speed ...

When you think about highly-precise actuators, stepper motors probably aren’t the first device that comes to mind. However, ...

Encoders are prominent in the medical industry because of the precision necessary to accurately and safely test and treat the human body—and develop new procedures in the lab.

Similar in size and shape to the common panel-mounted potentiometer, the incremental rotary encoder provides an inexpensive ‘digital’ alternative to the analog potentiometer. It is typically used to ...

Figure 1 The rotary encoder controls a staircase waveform with precisely defined steps The outputs of an incremental encoder typically consist of two signals in quadrature (i.e., phase-shifted by a ...

Once you have a suitable donor mouse with a rotary encoder, you will gut the mouse removing the scroll wheel, rotary encoder, cord, and circuit board.

The PST-360 rotary, through-hole position sensor combines a through-shaft design with 360º absolute position feedback in an extremely thin package.
