SICK launched a new linear encoder product family for high-precision detection of piston positions in hydraulic cylinders and monitoring linear movements in machines. The DAX linear encoder product ...

Linear slides and stages provide smooth, precision linear motion and positioning for many different types of automated machinery. They use one of several linear bearing methods to reduce friction, ...

SICK has expanded its MAX® family of linear encoders to extend the space-saving, operating cost and maintenance benefits offered by its innovative magnetostrictive measurement technology to smaller ...

SICK has expanded its proven, non-contact magnetostrictive linear encoder portfolio with the launch of a versatile product family for wide-ranging industrial applications. The DAX® linear encoders ...

RLS (www.rls.si), a Slovenian motion sensing associate of Renishaw, has introduced the LinAce, a tough linear encoder that delivers ±5µm accuracy and full closed-loop control. Designed to be ...

A typical linear encoder consists of a scanning unit and a scale. The scale is generally glass and is cemented to a support, usually an aluminum extrusion. The scanning unit contains a light source, ...

Optical or magnetic linear encoders are traditionally used to provide position feedback in applications with frequent product changes or and sophisticated machining. Linear encoders improve the ...
