IXARC rotary encoders combine the accuracy and dynamic response of optical encoders with the ruggedness and compact form factor of magnetic encoders. The encoders feature a new four-element ...

SCHAUMBURG, Ill.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--HEIDENHAIN introduces a new sealed angle encoder that can be used as an alternative to modular angular encoders for use in motion control machining applications that ...

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 ...

Because encoders limit the number of controls required to increase functionality, they reduce the real estate needed in a given piece of equipment and, in turn, can reduce the point of focus or ...

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 ...

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 ...
