Rotary Sensors

With the increasing sophistication of electronic controls for mechanical systems to provide both accuracy and flexibility of control there is more demand for durable accurate and easy to use displacement sensors Customers are increasingly concerned about reliability durability and the

Everight Position is excited to announce that our application engineer Jarrod Orszulak has been named a Certified Product Specialist and a Certified Sales Engineer by POSITAL for their rotary encoders linear and tilt sensors

Abstract Tunnel magnetoresistance TMR sensing is an exciting new chapter for magnetic based rotary encoders Requiring less current while offering higher signal strength many of the inherent short comings of Hall Effect based sensors can be addressed

For decades there has been an initiative to source COTS Commercial off the shelf goods when possible and for good reason COTS goods generally are less expensive more readily available and easier to dual source

In the most hazardous environments where an explosive atmosphere consisting of flammable gas or vapor is regularly present and a sensor fault cannot be risked Intrinsically Safe IS sensors may be the best sensing option Generally these sensors are paired

This glossary defines common terms used when working with rotary encoders

Vision gimbals are critical components in various applications including unmanned aerial vehicles UAVs robotics and surveillance systems Used in IR LIDAR visible light and other frequencies they stabilize cameras or sensors providing smooth and accurate footage or data acquisition regardless
