Linear measurement tools are essential for determining the dimensions of an object. These tools provide a way to quantify distance in a straight line. In engineering and physics, getting your ...

The French firm Vectral is now offering a high-speed, linear-measurement system for demanding industrial environments. Available in both linear encoder and electronic tape-measure formats, ...

Anyone who uses engineered products is probably aware of “specmanship.” Simply put, specmanship is the art of manipulating theoretical and experimental data to cast a product in a better light. It ...

A high resolution encoder allows measurement of linear position or speed without contact between the sensor head and scale. The Kübler Linear Measurement System senses movement via a magnetic scale ...
