Rotary encoders connect to a shaft and, as the shaft rotates, the encoder outputs pulses. These are used to determine the speed of the object. By counting the amount of pulses per one full turn of the ...

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 ...

The ECI 119 is an absolute, inductive rotary encoder with a low profile (height of 19mm, outside diameter 92mm) and large through shaft (50, 38, or 30mm), making it well suited for electric motors in ...

This is the first of a two-part series. Part 2 can be found here. Encoders play an integral role in almost every mechanical system that involves motion monitoring or control. There are a variety of ...

Sponsored by Encoder Products Company, Harmonic Drive LLC, maxon, Performance Motion Devices Gray code is a form of binary and the most popular absolute encoder output type. This white paper will ...

Avago Technologies, a leading supplier of analog interface components for communications, industrial and consumer applications, today announced a high-resolution absolute optical encoder for ...

A high-accuracy 20-bit resolution quasi-absolute encoder with DSP-based signal processing is housed in a dc stepper motor assembly, as shown in Fig. 1. Able to operate in a temperature range between ...
