SCHAUMBURG, IL--(Marketwired - April 18, 2013) - HEIDENHAIN's product range of absolute rotary encoders of the 400 Series are now available with interface to Fanuc controls. These encoders are ...

Rotary Air Bearings provide High Precision Motion with Minimal Eccentricity and Wobble. The rotary air bearing on the left is non motorized – its low friction is apparent from the long time it keeps ...

Heidenhain has expanded its absolute rotary encoder offering with the new RIQ/IQN 425 series. These sturdy, inductive rotary encoders were designed for use in applications in the automation and wind ...

SCHAUMBURG, IL--(Marketwired - May 18, 2016) - HEIDENHAIN launches a new product family that is a merger of HEIDENHAIN bearing and angle encoder technologies. Resulting in the MRP 2000, 5000 and 8000 ...

[Long Haired Hacker] has undertaken a high-resolution 3D printer build. He got his hands on some motors to drive the build platform but it doesn’t have a built-in encoder. He knows that optical ...

The DS-25 Electric Encoder provides generous mounting tolerance, obviating the need for internal ball bearings. The lack of bearings and components such as flexible couplers, glass discs, light ...

One of the most trusted feedback devices is the tried and true rotary encoder. However, shock loads can easily break these delicate devices: The glass One of the most trusted feedback devices is the ...

Myriad applications require custom torque motors — including hard-machining table drives, mirror millers, and measuring and grinding machines. In fact, machine builders for these applications are now ...

Encoders are a vital component in many applications that require motion control and feedback information. Whether a system’s requirement is speed, direction, or distance, an encoder produces control ...

Once viewed as "guideways for the rich and famous," air bearings use in the last two years has been driven by explosive growth in two application areas: flat panel displays and hard disk drives. But ...

In applications demanding precision and throughput, linear motor production systems usually need to be built from the ground up. Fractional microns accuracy requires feedback from an optical encoder, ...
