Measurement Specialties develops innovative custom packaged solutions for rotary sensing applications using magnetic sensing technology. An encoder is a sensing device that translates either linear or rotary motion into a predictable electrical output.
Magnetic encoder technology has shown to be superior to existing optical encoder technology in areas of:
- Temperature range
- Contamination resistance
- Operational life
- Shock and vibration
- Critical assembly operations
- Cost
Main magnetic encoder applications
- Panels (for user inputs)
- Feedback (for OEM—PCB assemblies and packaged encoders)
