SCHAUMBURG, IL--(Marketwired - November 26, 2013) - HEIDENHAIN releases its newest addition to vacuum encoder technology with the LIP 400 series linear encoder system. Procedures using vacuum ...

The AS5305 magnetic linear motion encoder IC makes linear-position measurements by sliding a single- or double-track multi-pole magnetic strip over the IC. Using a cost-effective single-track magnetic ...

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 ...

Optical or magnetic linear encoders handle high-res needs in dirty jobs. Linear encoders help minimize errors in motion transmission such as backlash, hysteresis, abbe errors, ball-screw thermal ...

Melexis has announced the MLX90520 – a reference inductive encoder IC with 22-bit resolution for rotary & linear movement. The MLX90520 fulfills the demand for high-accuracy, cost-effective position ...

Designed for demanding industry and research applications of scanning, measuring, imaging, and alignment. Ultra-precise linear motor stage, with 1µm straightness/flatness and 1nm absolute encoder, ...

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, ...

Thanks to the smooth-running precision linear guides with crossed roller bearings, the linear stage is particularly suitable for scanning applications with constant velocity. The anti-creep system ...

(Nanowerk News) Global precision motion control and nanopositioning industry leader PI introduces a new high dynamics linear motor stage family, the V-574 - a new series of linear positioning stages ...

Currently the industry’s smallest miniature reflective incremental optical encoder, the 3 (L) x 3.28 (W) x 1.26 (H)-mm AEDR-8400-14x offers a 318-lpi resolution—improving performance over the previous ...

(Nanowerk News) PI is offering the new V-417.336025E1 long travel linear motor stage, providing 32 inches of travel (813mm). The direct drive stage achieves high velocities to 79”/sec (2m/sec) based ...
