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 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 ...

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 ...

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 ...

It seems almost all industries use linear actuators in some way—perhaps to move inventory, products, or components, or to carry out manufacturing and assembly processes. They convert energy into a ...

Rodless cylinders are linear devices that use pressurized fluid to move a load within power transfer operations. A rodless cylinder should be used if the footprint of the area is small, when the load ...

The sensors can be utilized as encoders because they offer the performance and reliability needed for dynamic closed-loop control. They provide continuous, precise position feedback that permits ...
