The advanced stage design provides for excellent straightness and flatness values as low as 1µm. Crossed roller bearings ...

Linear encoders are the sensors that detect linear movements as absolute position values without establishing a physical contact with the object. Linear encoders play a crucial role in determining the ...

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, ...

Renishaw (www.renishaw.com) has developed new linear encoders that feature a special stainless steel scale, ultralow ±30 nm cyclic error, patented filtering optics ...

Ultra-precise linear motor stage, with 1µm straightness/flatness and 1nm absolute encoder, V-573, new from PI With 80nm ...

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 ...

The M-122 palm-top-sized translation stage integrates small dimensions, high speeds and very high accuracy at a competitive price. It features a space-saving, folded drive train with the servo motor ...

SICK has expanded its proven, non-contact magnetostrictive linear encoder portfolio with the launch of a versatile product family for wide-ranging industrial applications. The DAX® linear encoders ...

HEIDENHAIN CORPORATION is pleased to announce the start of series production of the new generation of LC encoders. HEIDENHAIN CORPORATION is pleased to announce the start of series production of the ...

Optical encoders are nothing new; they can be found in everything from mice to printers. They’re great for allowing DC motors to know their exact position and even current direction. If this is ...

MTS Systems' Sensors Division's magnetostrictive sensors now provide the performance level that make them preferable alternatives to linear encoders in certain applications. The sensors can be ...
