Rotary encoders are electromechanical devices used for sensing in myriad applications—on motors paired with drives and automated machinery for everything from consumer electronics, elevators, and ...

As per its creator, the AEAT-6600-T16 debuts as the industry’s highest-resolution Hall-Effect magnetic encoder. The component targets industrial applications, particularly those in harsh environments.

Engineers use rotary encoders to measure the angular position of an attached device, such as a motor shaft, or to measure distance indirectly when used with a linear belt drive, for example. Rotary ...
