A hollow shaft (or hollow bore) encoder is designed to be mounted onto a shaft. The rotor of a hollow shaft encoder, where the shaft is mounted, can be manufactured to a wide range of sizes. One of the lead advantages of this design is that it eliminates the need for a coupling.
Programmable Logic Controllers (PLCs) are industrial computers, with various inputs and outputs, used to control and monitor industrial equipment based on custom programming. PLCs come in many different sizes and form factors. Some are small enough to fit in your pocket, while others are large enough to require their own heavy-duty racks to mount. Some PLCs are more modular, with only basic I/O
Proximity switches
A rotary encoder is an electromechanical device that reads the position of a rotating component, such as a motor shaft, and generates an electrical output signal related to that position. Magnetic rotary encoders use a magnetized wheel attached to the shaft.
