We’re all familiar with getting feedback from a rotating shaft, for which we usually employ a potentiometer or encoder. But there’s another device that, while less well-known, has some advantages that ...

Gear Potentiometers are also called Thumbwheel Potentiometers. Let’s investigate them. There are many varieties of compact gear potentiometers available. Most of them are single and dual – this time ...

Offering both analog and 10-bit digital position information, the AS5043 absolute analog magnetic rotary encoder IC provides motion-sensing functionality that outperforms other analog solutions such ...

Rotary quadrature encoders often are used to command digital potentiometers or digital controllers, and quadrature decoding is typically performed in a programmable device (like an FPGA or ...
