Encoders are a vital component in many applications that require motion control and feedback information. Whether a system’s requirement is speed, direction, or distance, an encoder produces control ...

Rotary encoders provide critical information about a motor shaft’s position, rotational direction, velocity (rpm), and acceleration. They are vital components in motion-control feedback loops used in ...

Last year, Automation World examined the differences between accuracy, resolution, and precision in the encoder world. And while understanding the differences among these terms is important to ...

Electromate has added the Netzer Precision VLP-13 to its catalog, a miniature, absolute rotary encoder engineered for ...

• Capacitive sensing offers low operating currents, broad programmability, excellent temperature range tolerance, resistance to airborne contaminants, low cost, and extreme durability. • Commutation ...

KBC TOOLS & MACHINERY is offering absolute encoders with digital read outs (DROs) that allow machine operators to read the position where machining stops, even when the power is turned off or lost ...

Rotary encoders sense changes in the position of a rotating shaft, then generate signals that send speed, direction, and position information to a receiving device such as a counter, drive, or ...

Rotary encoders are critical to many applications, even at the hobbyist level. While considering his own rotary encoding needs for upcoming projects, it occurred to [Jan Mrázek] to try making his own ...

A new magnetic digital encoder featuring 14-bit resolution, differential outputs, and a speed range of up to 200-k e-RPM offers accurate and cost-effective position sensing for various robotic and ...
