UNTERPREMSTAETTEN, Austria--(BUSINESS WIRE)--The new AS5601 contactless rotary position sensor from ams AG (SIX: AMS), a leading provider of high performance analog ICs and sensors, gives designers an ...

Rotary encoders provide critical information about a motor shaft’s position, rotational direction, velocity (rpm), and acceleration. They are vital components in motion-control feedback loops used in ...

An interesting trend in industrial motion control has been the replacement of self-contained encoders (rotation sensors with their own housing, bearings and shaft) with modular or “kit” encoders.

In robotics, movements must be precise and well-controlled. As robots are asked to do more as industry becomes more familiar with the technology, there will be an increasing need for high accuracy ...
