Elma’s E18 rotary encoder comes in through-hole and surface-mount versions in the 14.4 x 11.4 x 6.5mm body size. Rotational life is up to 150,000 revolutions, according to distributor Foremost, which ...

The electric motor is the fundamental building block of almost all robotic projects but, without some form of feedback, it lacks the precise positional control required for the task. Small servos from ...

Rotary encoders are pretty interesting pieces of technology. They’re a solid way to accurately measure rotation including the direction. [David] recently wrote some software to handle these input ...

A new hollow-shaft version of the company’s MCD rotary encoder makes it easy to mount the device on shafts up to 20 mm in diameter. A new hollow-shaft version of the company’s MCD rotary encoder makes ...

Adafruit has made an I2C interface for four rotary encoders. It comes in the form of a PCB with four footprints that accept one of the most common rotary encoder forms (Bournes PEC11 horizontal style) ...

HEIDENHAIN has released its new series of encoders for potentially explosive atmospheres (ATEX), which meet the new standards required today for motion control applications. These HEIDENHAIN ExN and ...

Now offered in standard inch shaft and coupling sizes, the T-Line 40-mm series of incremental rotary encoders are compact, 40-mm diameter (1.57 in.) encoders that come standard with an integral ...

Experimenting with an HF oscillator, I needed to control the varactor diode voltage in precise increments over a 2V-10V range. A buffered potentiometer was the obvious choice, and connecting two pots ...
