New Encoders Products

Rotary Encoder has commutation and serial interface.

RCM15si combines brushless motor commutation pulses and incremental position feedback in one optical encoder. Index and commutation information is transmitted via RS 485 serial interface, which also allows for motor and controller setup. Available with resolutions up to 2048 lines, encoder provides commutation for 4, 6, or 8 pole brushless motors. It features slide/gap mechanism and built-in...

Bidirectional Interface suits quick-response drives.

EdDat 2.2 serial interface is capable of outputting absolute position values, as well as requesting or updating information stored in encoder. It offers purely digital transmission to higher-level electronics over 4 lines. Analog signal will not be disturbed by interference on way to subsequent electronics because it is already interpolated in encoder. Automatic measurement of propagation time...

Linear Cable Encoder measures distances up to 50 in.

Constructed with retractable stainless steel cable, Linear Cable Encoder (LCE) provides flexible solution for linear measurement in difficult environmental conditions. Product employs Cube series Accu-Coder(TM), which provides digital pulse train in single-channel or quadrature format. Additional features include optional IP65 rating and sealed bearings.

Linear Encoder suits machine tool and gantry applications.

Optoelectronic, incremental, linear scale Model LE50 offers measuring lengths from 3-30 m and cross-section of 50 x 58 mm. It provides various index options, including distance coded reference marks, and standard accuracy level of Ã-

Understanding Food & Beverage Lubricants

The term "food-grade lubricants" may sound like another name for food oils such as cooking spray, salad dressing, lard, or canola oil, but it actually refers to lubricants that are safe for use in food processing equipment.

Split Ring Encoder suits limited access applications.

Split ring magnetic encoder mounts directly on cam shaft and operates in hot engine oil. It produces feedback data that permits measurement of torsional twist of cam shaft and is available for shaft sizes from Ã-½-10 in. Encoder operates at speeds to 4,000 rpm with resolutions to 4,500 cpr in oil, dust, and excessive moisture. Product is suited for limited access or captive shaft applications...

Linear Measurement System offers 20 or 100 micron resolution.

KÃÆ'Ã-¼bler by TURCK System consists of linear encoder that allows non-contact measurement of linear position or speed. It senses movement via magnetic scale and sensor head that provides quadrature pulses from which speed, position, and direction of travel can be determined. Available in lengths up to 90 m, scale comes with stainless steel covering for protection against metal shavings...

Optical Encoder offers 50 nm resolution from sensor.

Featuring 1 LSB optical index, Mercury(TM) 1800 motion feedback encoder minimizes cogging for smooth control. All electronics are inside sensor making unit suited for high-noise applications. Model M1800S is fitted with high-density D-sub connector and is completely EMI shielded, while Model M1800H has high-density micro connector for tight spaces. Resolutions include 50 or 100 nm, linear, or up...

Optical Encoders offer plug and play installation.

Series 920 miniature, incremental encoders are capable of accepting disc radii as small as 9.78 mm with resolutions to 2,450 ppr. Featuring 5-pin mating connector that mates with AMPHEONOL and MOLEX configurations, units measure 1.25 x 1.05 x 0.39 in. including caliper, connector, and PCB board. Opto-ASIC design includes phased array photo diode IC noted for Ã-

Motion Feedback Encoders suit space-restricted designs.

Measuring 8.4 mm tall, Mercury(TM) miniature encoders are vented and compatible with 10-8 Torr vacuum levels. Programmable Model M3500 features resolution to 5 nm, RS-422 compatible quadrature output, plus alignment and setup using integral LED indicators. Model M1000V provides analog sine/cosine output for use with interpolation electronics. SmartSignal(TM) alignment tool is used for alignment...

Hollowshaft Encoders have stainless steel housings.

Incremental or absolute position sensing KÃÆ'Ã-¼bler by TURCK encoders incorporate hollowshaft construction and stainless steel bodies with M12 eurofastÃ-® quick disconnect. Housings, in conjunction with shaft seals, provide environmental rating of IP 66. Available with flange, bore, and output circuit styles, units incorporate Intelligent Sensing Technology and Integrated Technology,...

Basalt America Announces Stronger, Lighter, and Corrosion-Free FRP's (Fiber Reinforced Polymers)

Fiber Reinforced Polymers (FRP), represents a truly groundbreaking advancement in structural reinforcement. Lightweight, strong, and green, they are changing the way the construction industry thinks about rebar. Unlike steel, FRPs don't rust and are far stronger than standard rebar. To learn why Fiber Reinforced Polymers are poised to change the way the world builds, see our video.
