and off-axis (see diagram). Called A31315, it includes configurable signal processing, linearisation and angle calculation allows it to resolve the absolute rotary or ...

This Design Idea utilizes an optical computer mouse's sensor for measuring rotation of a disk which can be mechanically connected to any sort of rotating apparatus. One feature is to allow adjustment ...

Researchers in France have devised a new technique in quantum sensing that uses trapped ultracold atoms to detect acceleration and rotation. They then combined their quantum sensor with a conventional ...

Hall-effect switches and instrumentation-grade sensors have become more commonplace in industrial applications, with a wide range of Hall-effect devices now packaged for designers of products and ...

Einstein's theory of gravity predicts that a rotating body, such as Earth, partially drags inertial frames along with its rotation. Scientists suggest a novel approach to measuring what is referred to ...

Providing an output proportional to shaft rotation over a range up to 120º, the RSE 1500 series rotary position sensors measure the position of quarter-turn valves, flue dampers, weir gates, dancer ...

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 ...

Engineers have demonstrated flexible thread-based sensors that can measure neck movements to provide data on the direction, angle of rotation and degree of displacement of the head. The development at ...

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 ...
