The monitoring of rotation can involve such sensor types as proximity, photoelectric, resolvers, encoders, and tachometer generators. Most determine direction of rotation, speed, and angular position ...

Atom interferometers are quantum sensors that use the wave-like nature of atoms to measure gravity, acceleration and rotation with exceptional precision. Most of the current atom interferometers are ...

(Nanowerk News) Atom interferometers are quantum sensors that use the wave-like nature of atoms to measure gravity, acceleration and rotation with exceptional precision. Most of the current atom ...

The contact-less RSE 1500 series rotary RVDT position sensors provide an absolute output that's proportional to shaft rotation over a total range up 120º. Although their shafts rotate a full 360º, the ...

Of course, many different types of distance measuring sensors exist but not all sensors are the same. Each sensor has its own advantages and disadvantages. At its most basic level, a distance ...

Fiber optic gyroscopes (FOGs) utilise the Sagnac effect to measure rotation, forming the core technology behind many modern inertial navigation and rotation-sensing applications. These sensors offer a ...

Controlling an earthmoving machine to perform a task requires knowing exactly where its bucket or blade contacts the dirt. Therefore, in addition to knowing the machine’s position, it is necessary to ...

RSE 1500 series rotary position sensors measure the position of quarter-turn valves, flue dampers, weir gates, dancer arm tensioners, and of other applications involving fractional-turn movements.

In modern plastics production, innovative sensor technologies offer far-reaching benefits, from increased efficiency and improved product quality to more sustainable production processes. Sensors are ...

Engineers at Tufts University have created and demonstrated flexible thread-based sensors that can measure movement of the neck, providing data on the direction, angle of rotation and degree of ...

Honda Motor has been granted a patent for a control apparatus that corrects errors in the angle measurement of a rotor in an electric motor. The apparatus determines whether a correction process has ...
