Optical or magnetic linear encoders are traditionally used to provide position feedback in applications with frequent product changes or and sophisticated machining. Linear encoders improve the ...

Kübler by TURCK introduces a new magnetic single-turn absolute encoder series specifically designed for extreme outdoor applications and heavy-duty construction machinery. The Sendix M3658 shaft and ...

AutomationDirect has expanded its Koyo encoder product line to include additional incremental encoder output options and higher resolutions for absolute encoders. The TRD-S series of 6mm solid shaft ...

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 ...

Avago Technologies announced a high-resolution absolute optical encoder for high-performance servo and motor feedback applications. The new AEAT-9000 ultra-precision absolute encoder provides ...

An interesting trend in industrial motion control has been the replacement of self-contained encoders (rotation sensors with their own housing, bearings and shaft) with modular or “kit” encoders.

Absolute encoders using optical technology often face limitations in resolution and size. For example, to achieve a higher resolution of up to 16-bits, the absolute encoder has to be combined with an ...
