Encoders are widely used in the motion control and automation industry to monitor the position and speed of motors. This information can be used by the motion control electronics to detect if the ...

Optical encoders and transducers enable users to translate information from one code to another. Optical encoders come in different varieties including rotary encoders and linear encoders. The optical ...

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 ...

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 ...

This file type includes high resolution graphics and schematics when applicable. Rotary encoders track motor shaft movement for myriad pieces of industrial equipment and commercial devices. For ...

In robotics, movements must be precise and well-controlled. As robots are asked to do more as industry becomes more familiar with the technology, there will be an increasing need for high accuracy ...

Rotary encoders convert rotary movement or angular position into analogue or digital signals for use in measurement or control systems. They can be classified in a number of ways, primarily by the ...

Consumers expect quality video experiences at the touch of a button. Without live streaming encoders, though, this wouldn’t be possible. Streaming encoders are an essential tool for transporting live ...

Position encoders are sensors that, when used in industrial settings, produce critical motor information such as speed and position. The encoder delivers data for display or data that may serve as ...
