‘Linear Encoder’
An Engineeringtalk guide
Start with the news release
SK 200E frequency inverter range launched by Nord from
Nord Drivesystems, which we summarised at the time by saying "Nord Gear's SK 200E frequency inverter range combines a sensorless current vector drive with control and communications features in a compact IP55 or IP66 rated enclosure.".
Several months prior to that,
we featured the news release Rodriguez releases latest Compacta geared motors from
Rodriguez (UK): "R A Rodriguez is offering the AG60 and MR30 Compacta slip-on geared motors, available with double brakes to meet theatre safety standards.".
In July 2009, we covered the news from Geeplus
- take a look at Geeplus launches smallest voice coil motor
which says: "Geeplus International has launched a standard voice coil motor that measures 16mm in diameter, 14mm in length and develops 0.55N of force. ".
Take a look also at the news release from Nord Drivesystems, Frequency inverter range available up to 22kW,
as well as Mercury II 1600 encoder is easy to install from Inmoco,
and Aerotech adds vertical translation stage to ANT from Aerotech.
