Technical details on the operation, benefits, and use of cable-type position transducers are available free of charge from SpaceAge Control. The String Potentiometer and String Encoder Engineering ...

What is a rotary encoder? A rotary encoder (RT) is a device that you can rotate infinitely. On most rotary encoders, when you rotate them you will feel a bump (known as steps), and most RTs have about ...

Offering both analog and 10-bit digital position information, the AS5043 absolute analog magnetic rotary encoder IC provides motion-sensing functionality that outperforms other analog solutions such ...

LSI Computer Systems (LSI/CSI) has created a family of 63 tap (6bit) digital potentiometers for direct connection to quadrature decoders, push buttons, GPIOs or SPI serial controls. Debounce circuits ...

Ever tear open a potentiometer? If you haven’t, you can still probably guess what’s inside. A streak of resistive material with some kind of contact that moves across it as you rotate the shaft, right ...

While the “M” in MIDI stands for “musical”, it’s possible to use this standard for other things as well. [s-ol] has been working on a VJ setup (mixing video instead of music) using various ...

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 ...

An encoder from Space Age Controls, Palmdale, Calif., for example, measures 3.233.233 in., weighs less than 10 oz, and is available with NEMA-4X/IP66 environmental protection. The transducer measures ...

Posital's Magnetocode (MCD) encoders are available with heavy-duty IP69K stainless steel housings — for a reliable alternative to potentiometers. Dec. 1, 2010 Posital's Magnetocode (MCD) encoders are ...
