‘Absolute Encoders’
An Engineeringtalk guide
Start with the news release
Actuator system for sampling applications from
Heason Technology, which we summarised at the time by saying "Heason Technology has launched a low-cost modular actuator range for pick-and-place and sample dispensing in life science and other analytical equipment applications. ".
Several months prior to that,
we featured the news release Viscotec devises drive solution for dosage units from
EMS: "Viscotec Pumpen and Faulhaber have devised a drive solution for dosage units on a system that comprises a fast DC drive and high-precision piezo rotary drive, mounted on a common spindle. ".
In November 2009, we covered the news from Bodet Aero
- take a look at Bodet to show tachometers for landing gear
which says: "Bodet Aero is exhibiting at the SAE Aerotech Congress and Exhibition in Seattle, Washington, from 10-12 November, 2009, as part of the Aerospace France Pavilion. ".
Take a look also at the news release from McLennan Servo Supplies, Brushless servo motors provide 2,800-5,200rpm,
as well as Pittman DC motors integrate neodymium magnets from Ametek Technical and Industrial Products,
and S series shaft motor has combined linear encoders from Micromech.
