Encoders are at the heart of any closed loop servo system, providing feedback to the controller, which uses this information to determine if the motor reached the commanded position or velocity. Thus, ...

Resolution is a fundamental specification and one of the most important factors when selecting an encoder. For linear encoders, resolution designates the number of measuring units per distance (inch ...

EVM58 Ethernet IP encoders from Pepperl+Fuchs come with up to 25 bit resolution and provide highly-accurate machine position or velocity feedback via industry-standard Ethernet/IP interface. Available ...

Encoders with a reduced package size can be a big help when space on and around the motor shaft gets tight. And suppliers have recognized that fact and developed new models that squeeze high ...

AEDR-871x is a series of 3-channel high resolution reflective incremental encoder which has digital output. This application note discusses the features, advantages, and proper placement of AEDR-871x.

ETEL recently announced their new generation of indexing tables: the RTMB. By combining ETEL’s torque motors with HEIDENHAIN’s high-resolution encoder technology in a compact package, the RTMB ...

The MSK1000 encoder uses a lowprofile magnetic band to create programmable resolutions to 0.2 m directly from the sensor. System accuracy is rated at 2 m over 2 m without correction factoring at ...

San Jose, Calif. — Avago Technologies has expanded its family of miniature reflective incremental optical encoders with a new high resolution encoder. Touted as the industry's smallest, the ...
