01/06/12 | New 2nd Generation Fiber Optic Incremental Encoders
Micronor's new MR320 series Fiber Optic Incremental Rotary Encoders represent the 2nd Generation of the MR310 series originally introduced in 2004. With 8 years of customer usage, these fiber optic sensors have demonstrated their intrinsic immunity to EMI and inherent safety in all manner of challenging environments. Design and performance improvements include:
  • Duplex fiber design increases optical loss budget by 6dB
  • Maximum distance extended to 2500 meters
  • Duplex LC interface is user friendly and better performing
  • Same package and extended temperature options as original MR310 series
  • ATEX classified Simple Apparatus for safe use in mines & haz locations

    03/25/11 | MR266/MR267 Series Wins Golden Mousetrap FINALIST Award
    Micronor's new MR266/MR267 series PLC-compatible motorized potentiometers win 2011 DESIGN NEWS Golden Mousetrap Finalist Award under Motor and Mechanical Motion Devices category! These products were specifically designed as turn-key solutions for automating industrial process control systems with manual potentiometer controls. Also can be used to relocate potentiometers and rheostats. Compatible with any PLC, DCS, A/D, D/A or other control systems with either 4-20mA or 0-10V interfaces. MR267 series replace potentiometers under 5W and MR266 series replace high wattage pots and rheostats up to 300W (special models available for 1000W applications).
     

    11/22/10 | PTE Article Explains Pros & Cons of Limit Switches, Resolvers and Encoders
    August-2010 issue of Power Transmission Engineering magazine featured this Micronor article titled Sensing The Motion: Rotary Position Sensors - Electromechanical, Electronic and Fiber Optic. Three case studies (gantry crane, wind turbine and aerial cable car) are used to explain the pros and cons of the 5 major types of position sensors:
  • Geared Limit Switches
  • Resolvers
  • Optical Rotary Encoders
  • Magnetic Rotary Encoders
  • Fiber Optic Rotary Encoders
