Whether incremental or absolute, magnetic or optical, rotary encoders track motor shaft rotation to generate digital position and motion information. Their use proliferates in industrial and ...

Encoders are the most widely used feedback devices for electric motor control, capable of delivering precise position and speed feedback for closed-loop performance. With numerous technology options ...

Optical encoders are critical components in systems with rotating shafts or parts. Optical rotary encoders are the most widely used way to transform mechanical rotary motion into electrical signals.

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 ...

Posital has updated its line of IXARC programmable incremental rotary encoders to deliver fractional pulse rates. They can also be set up to deliver pulse rates that are not even multiples of the ...

Veratus is the first MicroE encoder built using the company's new VeraPath™ optical technology, delivering the reliability, signal stability, and dirt immunity required in many applications. VeraPath ...

Everyone has at least one extra mouse laying around; why not get some use out of it? Disassembling the mouse you can get two optical encoders plus four infrared emitter/detector pairs. Then you can ...

Posital has enhanced its IXARC family of incremental magnetic rotary encoders, increasing the maximum resolution to 32,768 pulses per revolution (PPR). This upgrade also includes new phasing options, ...

Experimenting with an HF oscillator, I needed to control the varactor diode voltage in precise increments over a 2V-10V range. A buffered potentiometer was the obvious choice, and connecting two pots ...

Avago Technologies has designed a range of 3-channel optical incremental encoder modules for controlling DC servo motors, but also robotics and drones. The AEDT-981x module incorporates an ...

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 ...
