There are many devices for measuring shaft angle. Potentiometers, resolvers and optical encoders are the most common. Potentiometers offer a simple, low cost solution but are not suitable for harsh ...

A resolver is a sensor that estimates the angle of a rotating shaft, such as the shaft of an electrical motor used in automotive traction inverter applications. To obtain a digital representation of ...

What it means to you: Tiny sensor measures shaft angle and direction over a full 360° range with up to 14 bits of resolution without requiring a mechanical linkage to and from the machine.

Because optical encoders are functionally similar, “resolution” is often used as a main characteristic for magnetic encoders, a device providing the angle of a magnet attached to a mechanical shaft ...

PIHER INTERNATIONAL PST-360 Through-Hole Position shaft angle rotary sensor combines a through-shaft design with 360-degree absolute position feedback in an extremely thin package. Unit provides a ...

The data output from the shaft angle comes with a small delay of only 1.5 μs, which is comparable to the delays present in the optical encoders, making it fast a precise. Furthermore, the automatic ...

Eddy current sensors are an attractive choice due to their high resolution, reliability, and durability in harsh environments while being able to measure in a noncontact manner. This article presents ...
