Short-Form Catalogue Features Rotary Encoders

Knitter-Switch has published a short-form catalogue dedicated to its range of rotary encoders, which is suitable for applications such as car radios, smart metering and on-stage entertainment systems. Rotary pulse encoders are compact, electromechanical components for converting rotational movements into pulse sequences. In applications such as car radios, they eliminate the disadvantages associated with conventional potentiometers as there is no stop point that might be exceeded or over-wound and contact problems with analogue resistance paths prone to dirt contamination are eliminated.

As it is straightforward to process the digital signals transmitted and thanks to the illumination options, encoders are recommended for use in industrial electronics, domestic technology, smart metering, on-stage entertainment systems, audio mixing consoles and consumer electronics. Six ranges of encoders are detailed in the new catalogue: the MER9, MER11 and MERPS11 ranges; the MER12, which features a pushbutton function and incorporates an LED illumination facility that allows a choice of eight different colours (white, orange, red, green, light green, blue, cyan and violet); the MER23, featuring a large hollow shaft and the potential to incorporate a light-emitting diode or a tactile switch within the device, making it suitable for home multimedia systems, car radios and measuring instruments; and the MRP1.

congatec Future-Proofs ETX and XTX Standard

Image
congatec AG, a leading manufacturer of embedded computer modules, is giving the ETX and XTX form factors a viable future with the integration of AMD Fusion technology. Modules based on AMD Fusion processors deliver significant improvements with regard to performance and scalability. Intel’s discontinuation of the 855 chipset family left a major gap in the market particularly for ETX computer modules, which primarily affected the higher performance range of applications. This gap has now been closed by processor manufacturer AMD with the Fusion architecture. Fusion also opens up new perspectives for a wide range of innovative and graphics-oriented applications.congatec has integrated the AMD Fusion architecture into its product range of ETX and XTX COM modules, opening up new scalability options for this form factor to meet even the most demanding tasks. The company supports the Fusion architecture with two new COM modules: conga-EAF and conga-XAF. While conga-EAF is an ETX module, co...

Haydon Kerk Motion Solutions Releases 36mm Linear Actuator Configuration that Replaces Existing 42mm Packages

Image
Haydon Kerk Motion Solutions, a premier manufacturer of linear motion products, has released a new version of its popular 36mm G4 linear actuator. This new configuration includes a special adapter plate that allows the smaller 36mm OD unit to replace 42mm and 46mm units in existing applications. Performance of the 36mm G4 linear actuator not only exceeds the performance of comparable size actuators, it approaches the performance of larger 42mm and 46mm linear actuators from various manufacturers. The 36mm unit with the integrated adapter plate allows users to replace existing 42 and 46mm units easily by using the same bolt pattern and pilot surface. Among the advantages of substituting the 36mm G4 linear actuator include a smaller linear actuator body, which is especially important when space is a premium, and a lower cost system, compared with the larger-size units. With the G4 linear actuator, both can be accomplished without sacrificing performance or lifespan. Force output rang...
