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 ...

This file type includes high resolution graphics and schematics when applicable. Engineers who want to measure and control rotating antennas, fluid flow direction, or a robotic arm joint can now use a ...

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 ...

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.

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 ...

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 ...

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 ...
