Rotary and linear optical encoders are common in position and motion sensing. Here, a disc or plate containing opaque and transparent segments passes between an LED and detector to interrupt a light ...

San Jose, Calif. — Avago Technologies claims to introduce the industry's smallest reflective incremental optical encoder. Available in a surface-mount, lead-free package, the AEDR-8400 encoder ...

To attain accurate positioning, a servo system requires a feedback signal to close its feedback loop. Instruments that typically supply the feedback signal include optical encoders, resolvers, and ...

Encoder offers up to 360 lpi to improve quality of smaller printers Measuring only 11 (L) x 13.7 (W) x 7 (H) mm, the AEDS-964x optical encoder module provides resolutions of up to 360 lpi�presented ...

Leading analog semiconductor manufacturer Avago Technologies Limited ( AVGO) recently introduced the AEDR-87xx series of 3-channel reflective optical encoder devices. The series currently includes the ...

Want to monitor how much a wheel has turned in your project? Then you need a rotary encoder! Here’s a way to add rotary encoding without changing the mounting method of your wheels (translated).

[Long Haired Hacker] has undertaken a high-resolution 3D printer build. He got his hands on some motors to drive the build platform but it doesn’t have a built-in encoder. He knows that optical ...
