Designed for automotive, medical, and industrial applications, C&K has developed a new optical rotary encoder, the ENC Series 24-position optical encoder with an integrated pushbutton. The ENC Series ...

Because encoders limit the number of controls required to increase functionality, they reduce the real estate needed in a given piece of equipment and, in turn, can reduce the point of focus or ...

pushbutton encoder or rotary switch from Duraswitch, Mesa, Ariz. (www.duraswitch.com), called the thiNcoder-PB can be placed directly into layers of a membrane switch or flex circuit. A pushbutton ...

Electromechanical component distributor, Foremost Electronics, has added switching products from Elma Electronics to its linecard. These include the X4 and MR50 rotary switches. The former is a ...

Vying for position as a contactless alternative to mechanical rotary switches, the AS5030 and AS5130 8-bit absolute magnetic rotary encoders integrate push button and low-power mode features. Both ...

Encoders are widely used in the motion control and automation industry to monitor the position and speed of motors. This information can be used by the motion control electronics to detect if the ...

Würth Elektronik has revealed two reflective optical sensors. These are simple devices, with an infra-red emitter and a photo-transistor, both facing upwards, but work at an unusual wavelength. “These ...

Rotary quadrature encoders often are used to command digital potentiometers or digital controllers, and quadrature decoding is typically performed in a programmable device (like an FPGA or ...

19" sub-racks, desktop and tower enclosures, front panels and matching accessories offer the ideal solution for packaging your technology. Reliability and ruggedness are just two of Elma's core ...

In robotics, movements must be precise and well-controlled. As robots are asked to do more as industry becomes more familiar with the technology, there will be an increasing need for high accuracy ...
